The Paper Chase

Musical Group

American experimental/noise rock band led by John Congleton, known for dark, pessimistic lyrics and abrasive, sample-rich production.

Led by John Congleton; production and arrangements emphasize noise, classical elements and tense atmospheres. Review on DeBaser cites influences and comparisons (math-rock, Shellac-like minimalism) and highlights God Bless Your Black Heart as a concept-driven record.

DeBaser hosts one review of The Paper Chase focusing on God Bless Your Black Heart. The review highlights John Congleton's abrasive production, bleak lyrics and a blend of noise, classical touches and math-rock elements. The record is read as a pessimistic concept album about good and evil.

For:Fans of experimental/noise rock, listeners who like dark concept albums, followers of John Congleton's production work.

 Everything reeks of pessimism, from the lyrics to the music, to the cover and booklet, where photos of the decapitated automaton and the lyrics abound, with the word heart rigorously highlighted and present in almost every song, as if it were the only lifeline.
