After years of releases and rapturous responses from crowds all around the country The Paper Scissors went quiet. The boys holidayed, went solo, played in other bands, moved away from Sydney, kicked back a little bit and lived life. They started working on new music in 2009, and then shortly after, changed their line-up to a 3 piece. The band are now more focused and disciplined in their sound and approach, and are hard at work finishing their second album. Their live show has been garnering even more acclaim with the three piece lineup wowing audiences during a small tour in August.
Until the second album drops, TPS are offering some palate cleansing singles to keep their old and new fans happy. First was the anthemic disco/noise banger Howl, and now new single T-T-Time, which has already hit airwaves and is now available across the internet.
Download 'T-T-Time"
T-T-Time finds the band at their most fun with its barbershop meets surf-rock sound, but sees some new elements being introduced. Reminiscent of their best-known tunes such as the sing along radio hit Yamanote Line and the almost ubiquitous We Don’t Walk - which was all over major network television - T-T-Time is instantly recognisable as TPS with errant handclaps, catchy hooks and Xavier Naughton’s nasty fuzz bass, but adds a more intricate arrangement, a more crafted lyrical approach by main songwriter Jai Pyne and the future indie sound of Ivan Lisyak’s mixing and Pyne and Lisyak’s production. The bare bones of the song were written by Pyne in New York late last year when he was far away from loved ones and home, but inspired by the rich musical and cultural history of the city. He was supposed to have a holiday but garageband and a stray nylon string guitar called and many ideas were penned that will see the light of day on TPS second album.
The video features most of the bands relatives, drama students, basketball players, resurrections and auditions.
The single and video are released ahead of a handful of club dates in early December and major festival Appearances over Summer. Stay Tuned...
