Papercuts is the stage name for Jason Quever, a San Francisco-based singer-songwriter who’s received some blogosphere nods in the past few months, thanks in no small part to his association with the implausibly beloved somnambulists Grizzly Bear. “John Brown” is the first single from Papercuts’ upcoming Can’t Go Back album, and it’s slow and spooky, with a great spaghetti-western opening:
Papercuts - John Brown [MP3, link expired]

Papercuts are all right! But yeah, I don’t think of them in terms of Grizzly Bear, more Casiotone for the Painfully Alone…
papercuts rule!
