About Paper Navy

( you can download the entire album from here: http://papernavy.bandcamp.com/) from: http://papernavy.com/ "Paper Navy is a folk-pop outfit originating on the fringes of Nashville, TN. With musical influences as divergent as classic country and 1970s era pop, you might imagine something like Bakersfield Bread, and although it has that flavor, such a description doesn’t quite sum up the paradoxically spare, yet lush sound of these guitar-based arrangements. In fact, despite the occasional touch of telecaster-inspired twang and a few train-roll rhythms, the music on this debut release is more cosmic than country, calling on the subtle effects of atmosphere to soften an otherwise dark airing of views. From the sweetly seductive “Honey Mead” with it‘s boozy swing, to the Queen influenced pomp of “Tongue Tied,” Paper Navy aim to persuade a diverse audience that pop music isn’t so easily classified, and folk music is more of an ethic than an aesthetic. This idea can also be heard on tunes like “Swan Song,” “Factories,” and the title track, “All Grown Up,” which delve into the existential misgivings of Everyman while remaining pleasantly listenable and catchy enough to hold on to. This group’s members include Shawn Anfinson (vocals, acoustic guitar), Brandon Harris (guitar), Simon Lynn (drums, bells), Jim Elrod (bass), and Jeff Weems (keys). Their new record, All Grown Up, is available now online, and through retailers June 2nd, 2009. Song downloads, along with show listings, and other updates are always available at www.papernavy.com."
