Papercuts - Rejoicing Songs (2000)

The reason this record caught my attention is because it seems that Clay Parton and Jason Albertini are credited as having worked on this record in some way, I haven't tracked down a physical copy yet to see if they're actually credited somewhere, but I find that very interesting as a Duster fan.

The album kind of reminds me of late duster at times, especially the track "Hey Cass", sounding like something off Duster's "Low Earth Orbit"

There's some cool sounding moments on this album recording-wise, and I really like the way Quever sings. The album is very Indietronica, and keeps it's charm by being rough on the edges at times. Quever sings in a way similar to Clay Parton, this bittersweet, almost twee voice.

The only downside is that it stops developing new ideas about halfway through, but luckily picks back up with the standout track "Hey Cass." A lot of the tracks on here are somewhere between quirky and fun, and mellow and deep.

"Gravity" "Complicating Things" and "Notes to Katherine" are some of my other favorite tracks on here. The shoegaze and 60s pop influence on the album makes it pretty fun and differentiates it from other albums in the genre.
