When New Jersey girl Jennifer Paley landed in Glasgow to partake in a study term at the cities School of Art she almost did a U-turn, but Paley soon grew to enjoy the cities vibrant nightlife and culture and boarded a different craft, a vessel named ‘Paper Planes’. Craig O’ Brien (drums), Fraser McFadzean (bass), and Christopher Haddow (guitar) make up the rest of the band. Their sound is decidedly American like their singer, citing The Velvet Underground and The Modern Lovers amongst their influences.
Jennifer has struggled to maintain her UK residency but after one year together Paper Planes are due to release their first single next month. The 7″ titled Doris Day is an ice cool mix of surf rock riffs and beats riding on the crest of a deeply sinister bassline. I hear an edge not unlike Kim Gordon and Alison Mosshart in Jennifer’s vocals, with a melodic pinch of Jenny Lewis. This band are going places I’m sure of that.
