Those same songs have now become a way to continue a conversation with the ghosts.”Ī fresh lineup of ace players and skilled production from Aaron Spiro (Motopony, Willow Stephens) expand the Walking Papers’ sound with heady layers of atmosphere and new heights of musicianship. “I’ve always used music as a way to deal with negative experiences and to figure myself out,” explains Angell, “I’ve lost a few close friends the last couple years and some of these songs provided the light I needed to process that. Described by Angell as “a sort of mindfulness exercise,” the new tracks focus restless energy left in the wake of personal loss and creative self-doubt. Known for his bruised, evocative vocals, and craftsman-like songwriting, Angell uses The Light Below to build on an already formidable catalog, with a cinematic style that oscillates between lust and loathing. With the band’s third album, The Light Below, we’re once again invited behind the velvet curtain, to the smoke-filled room where whiskey-voiced frontman Jefferson Angell holds court, telling his tales over bluesy riffs with an alluring darkness.
