It's been a bumpy ride for Toronto rock band, Papermaps. The owner of Toronto studio, Chemical
Sound and the lead singer and guitarist of the band, Dean Marino was force
to close down the precious studio, where a number of well-known bands,
including Tokyo Police Club, Born Ruffians and the Black Keys, have recorded
material in the past. The economical pressure was felt by all including Marino,
whilst the demand for recording at a professional space has slightly ebbed due
to the accessibility of new recording tools on laptops or even mobile
phones.
Their upcoming EP, Inferior
Ghost, was one of the last efforts recorded in the studio. It is set to
be released in August. Prior to the release, Papermaps are ready to showcase
their first single off the record, There Are Wolves. The repeated
chorus from the very beginning lingers throughout the song, leaving a
significant impression. The lyrics of the song seem
to be referring to the tough time that
Marino has gone through, while indicating the plaintive feeling in the line
such as this town didn't have patience for me. (Click here

Papermaps are heading towards the bright side with this new release as
well as showcases during NXNE and a residency at Drake Hotel Underground in
July. More to look forward for the band, rather than looking back.
