We Recommend: Paper Route, “The Peace of Wild Things”

On February 18, 2013January 21, 2021
JFH

One album that was very much worth getting excited about in 2012 was Paper Route‘s sophomore effort, The Peace of Wild Things. Its electronic soundscape bore a distinct 80s flavor that didn’t sound dated, but instead utilized a retro feel that helped take the music in the appropriate emotional directions. Born out of terrible heartache, there’s a sense of searching and healing that is contained within The Peace of Wild Things. Songs like “Glass Heart Hymn” are poetic yet familiar to a lot of listeners, as vocalist/songwriter JT Daly sends up a lamenting prayer. It’s an album that sounds poppy and accessible at times but is surprisingly deeper than most music in the genre. Check out The Peace of Wild Things and see Paper Route on tour with Anberlin this spring!
