“IX is the latest offering from Copenhagen’s foremost aural travellers. It’s wide open in every sense; from the flowing compositions – which linger but never overstay, jam and unfold organically – to the wonderful airy production, you get the sense of being both in studio with the band and simultaneously on the beach with wind blowing through your hair. Papir have long since perfected their trademark melange of melodic psychedelic rock, ambient meanderings and guitar freakouts, and IX is the latest in a never-miss catalog of releases.”
It makes sense that one third of Papir is also one third of Edena Gardens. This feels like a collection of dreamy jams from each of their last few albums in one long, continuous mix. Papir does it so airy and organic, creating a euphoric vibe that is so easy to enjoy. But did I miss something – where’s VIII?
Standout: IX.IIIIIII
