Jerry Paper - Like A Baby (2018)

Jerry Paper is the creative persona of Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer Lucas Nathan. Like A Baby, Jerry Paper's first album for Stones Throw, is out on 12 October. For Like A Baby, Nathan brought on several collaborators including Matty Tavares of BadBadNotGood - who co-produced the album - Weyes Blood, Mild High Club's Alex Brettin, and vocalist Charlotte Day Wilson. Inspired by a move from NYC back to Nathan's hometown of LA, Like A Baby explores existential themes tied to "the endless human cycle of desire and satisfaction." Nathan cites a vast pool of influences on his hazy, distorted universe of music, from fellow pop outliers Prefab Sprout, Todd Rundgren and Steely Dan ("a deep source of inspiration for me") to classic R&B, Stereolab, avant-garde Brazilian artists, and Japanese electronica.
