Paper Aeroplanes - Joy

Paper Aeroplanes specialize in an intoxicating brand of alt-folk. Singer Sarah Howells has one of those voices that is impossible to ignore, a soaring yet fragile instrument of the finest kind; and their heartfelt lyrics and gorgeous melodies are guaranteed to bring a tear to your eye and sooth your troubled soul. The band have spent much of the last year writing and recording in Cardiff with the help of producer Mason Neely (Cerys Matthews, Sufjan Stevens, Lambchop, Colorama). Guessing Game, the first single from the new batch of songs, added more rhythmic and electronic elements to the band's trademark acoustic sound, bringing to mind the likes of Lykke LI, Florence and Feist. The new album continues this theme - a varied and thrilling collection of songs to augment their already stunning live set.
