The Paperhead, a Nashville-based trio comprising Ryan Jennings, Peter Stringer-Hye, and Walker Mimms, have been crafting psych-pop masterpieces since 2010. Their debut, "Focus In On... The Looking Glass," introduced a sound rich in '60s psychedelic influences, characterized by electronic effects, backward tape loops, and textured pop layers. Over the years, they've expanded their musical palette, incorporating elements of avant-pop, cosmic country, acid folk, and krautrock. Their 2014 album, "Africa Avenue," recorded in Stringer-Hye's garage, showcases this evolution, blending intricate melodies with abstract lyrics. The Paperhead's synergy, honed since their teenage years, results in organic, live-band energy that resonates with fans of White Fence, Tame Impala, and the Kinks.
