It still hasn't quite sunk in for me, but it's true.. our album, Aint Nobody Cares, has been completed!  With months of snags (foreseen and otherwise) behind us, we are thrilled that the end to the anticipation is nigh.  We're in the process of signing up for new, junk-mail-stuffing accounts that will allow you to purchase Aint Nobody Cares in physical and digital formats.  We're in the midst of setting up a CD release show in April, but you should definitely keep your eyes and ears peeled during our March shows.



Oh yeah.. check this out!

We've been hiding in Shay Scott's basemnt (aka.. Klickitat Band Camp) for the past two weekends.  In hiding we've learned that Shay is a great guy, engineer/producer and host (his hospitality is off the charts!) and that this new album that we're working on is going to be more than rad!  Though this weekend we have a break, we'll be pounding out the rest of the album over the following two weekends.  Keep an eye on Jeni's offical recording blog over at paperbrain.net, so you don't get left out at the water cooler.. plus, there are pictures!  So, busy we've been and busy we'll be.. which means our next show isn't until the end of June and that just happens to be the 3900 ft Festival and I don't suggest missing it this year.  Until next time!

So.. in case you haven't noticed, we just put up a studio version of OMT!  Last Sunday we went in to GAS House to record it for promotion of our upcoming (second) full-length.. which we'll be recording in May/June at Klickitat Band Camp!!  As usual we had a great time in the studio and with Gary at the engineering helm it sounds really awesome and it only took us six and a half hours!  We also ate Thai Peacock for dinner which is sort of a tradition we carried over from last April's recording sessions.  Anyway, here are some pictures from that day.. enjoy!

Though the new year has been upon us for a little more than a month now we're officially waving good bye to the last (our first as a band.. and what a great year it was!).  Many good things are already in-store for '08 and we've been wasting no time preparing for them all.  As you can see, we have a bundle of shows coming up in the next couple of months and possibly a few more in April.  Then in May/June we'll be pitching our tents out at Klickitat Band Camp to record our next album.  Currently we're working on what we call the "new, new" tunes (because we've been playing some "new" ones for a while now) that'll be on the next album and hopefully we'll be able to throw some of them into our upcoming sets.  Also, check out the demo version of 'OMT' on our page to get a taste of some of our new, new stuff!

I've decided to highlight a couple of tracks off of our new album here on our MySpace page, along with The Curse which could technically be consider Paper Brain's first song.  At any rate, both have been up on the ol' space at one time or another, but I wanted to make it a little more personal, so below are the lyrics to both Body Said and Mother, I Wither Away.  Lastly, Adam updated our offical page at paperbrain.net and my, oh my, does it look good!  Take a look around and note that you can now purchase the album right off the damn thing!  Enjoy.

Body Said

you could flush away what my body has to say
what my body has to say
it doesn't matter anyway
tell me destiny or fate does imagination have it's place
who fills our hands with golden eggs
it's never ending
have we all stopped ending
slumber, oh, slumber
release me and all of my dreams
overgrown by the roots of these pants and matching shirt
they can't bear us any fruit
it's never changing
have we all stopped changing
if we were born to die then wake me up when it's my time
and set these coins atop my eyes
we're not all living
have we all stopped living
slumber, oh, slumber
release me and all of my dreams
sunlight is all bright
sunlight is all bright
you could fuck away what my body has to say
what my body has to say
it doesn't matter anyway


Mother, I Wither Away

someday, I'll be gone, buried up
bones buried in a graveyard
back down, this crowded ebb, a vector eats
my blood is often his feast
you'll find, my mistakes, undone
see them spinning around this barbwire
she looks, at the sun, carries on
dark blanket of a storm cloud
mother I wither away, someday I will learn
that it's not what I've said or how
I've lost my impatience, refused embrace
alone and lost again
someday, I'll be gone, buried up
dark blanket of a storm cloud
you'll find, my mistakes, undone
bones buried in a graveyard
mother I wither away, someday I will learn
that it's not what I've said or how
mother, I'm sorry
I'm so sorry, I am sorry
alone and lost again

Just wanted to direct your attention to this article in the Vanguard about the upcoming 3900 ft Festival.  Also, there is a flattering mention of us towards the end!  Check it out!

I just stumbled upon a lovely little review of our performance at the  Rock 4 Rights Battle of the Bands over at pdxpole.com.  Just wanted to let you all know and say thanks to Kelly for the kind words!
