Paper Cranes' on the Road Home tour
with Little Brother + Special guests
After releasing their 2012 debut e.p. Oh Love and winning The Audience Wildcard NZ on Air grant for their catchy single ‘Little Darling’ the band were spurred on to relaase a full-length album.
Taking almost a year off gigging to write in the peaceful, natural backdrop of Huia in the Waitakeres, Fraser and Naomi ended up with 60 songs that were eventually culled to 15 and presented to producer, Nic Manders. The final 11 tracks were recorded over 3 1/2 days at Roundhead Studios the finishing touches completed at Manders’ home studio.
You can hear the opposing forces of city and country in the album - of getting away from it all, but being drawn back into the freneticism of the metropolis. The songs touch on the idea of travelling or escaping; finding places where you feel at home - just as music is a way of escaping where you are even for just a few minutes.
The Road Home is available via Amplifier, iTunes and all good digital outlets. CDs are available at Paper Cranes' shows + Bandcamp.
