Studio album debut by Danish space rock and prog rock trio Papir consisting of guitarist Nicklas Sørensen, bassist Christian Becher Clausen, and drummer Christoffer Brøchmann Christensen. The band was founded in Gladsaxe, Copenhagen around 2008. The album consists of four instrumental pieces, and it was originally released on vinyl by independent label Red Tape, and later made available as downloadable via the band's bandcamp profile. The album mentions no producer credits, but Troels Bech is credited mastering and the band is credited mixing.
Stylewise and musically, the band explores experimental progressive rock with bonds to 1970s krautrock and German prog rock band Can in particular.
The album is not an immediate favourite but it definitely isn't without talent. There's both something disturbing, something fascinating, and a great deal of originality to these four compositions.
