Formed by producer Bruno Miguel in 2005, with vocalist Melissa Veras, electronic duo Papercutz released their debut album, ‘Lylac’, through Canadian indie label Apegenine in 2008. This was followed up last year with an ambient rework of the same album.
Having spent much of the last three years touring, the pair are now working on the second Papercutz album proper. However, their latest track to emerge online is a cover of The Cure’s ‘Disintegration’ (which you can stream and download below) created for a compilation to celebrate the first birthday of music website Futuresequence. Given a glacial cool that is slowly melted by Veras’ vocals, the pair make the track entirely their own. It’s a definite sonic progression from ‘Lylac’ and makes the prospect of that new album all the more exciting.
