#jerrypaper #vinyl #indiemusic
The eagerly awaited album INBETWEEZER by Jerry Paper is set to drop on September 27th, promising an eclectic journey through the multifaceted soundscapes that have come to define this unique artist. Known for blending an array of genres into a seamless auditory experience, Jerry Paper (real name Lucas Nathan) takes listeners on a trip through their distinct sonic world, where soul, synth, and surrealism collide. Following the whimsical animated visual for “Moonstruck,” the album is already generating buzz with pre-orders offering fans a quirky bonus—a pack of non-GMO catnip seeds alongside the special edition vinyl.
Jerry Paper’s music has always been a melting pot of influences, and with INBETWEEZER, they continue to push the boundaries of genre and style. When listening to the album, one can’t help but draw comparisons to the dreamy, genre-blurring work of artists like Toro Y Moi. Like Toro Y Moi, Jerry Paper crafts music that is both introspective and expansive, using a blend of analog and digital sounds to create something truly unique. This album, however, takes that sound and infuses it with a sense of playful surrealism, a hallmark of Jerry Paper’s approach to music.
The origins of Jerry Paper as an alter ego reflect Lucas Nathan’s ongoing exploration of identity and self-expression. Emerging from the creative crucible of Los Angeles, Nathan’s early works under various monikers were characterized by a fascination with the absurd and the surreal. INBETWEEZER is no different, offering a collection of tracks that delve into themes of existential curiosity and the paradoxes of modern life. The album feels like a natural evolution of Nathan’s previous work, including collaborations with influential artists such as BadBadNotGood and Tyler, the Creator, both of whom share an affinity for blending the familiar with the avant-garde.
As INBETWEEZER unfolds, each track serves as a chapter in a larger narrative, weaving together elements of electronic pop, jazz, and experimental music. This album is more than just a collection of songs; it’s a cohesive exploration of sound and meaning, drawing listeners into a world that is at once bizarre and deeply relatable. As Nathan continues to redefine what it means to be an artist in the 21st century, INBETWEEZER stands as a testament to their unyielding creative spirit, offering a fresh perspective on the endless possibilities of music.
With the release of INBETWEEZER, Jerry Paper solidifies their place in the pantheon of modern music innovators. The album is not just a reflection of where they have been, but also a glimpse into the uncharted territories they are yet to explore. Whether you are a longtime fan or new to their sound, this record promises to be an essential addition to any music lover’s collection.
