Paper Satellites launches new single
IN A SPAN of five years, Paper Satellites have been churning out tropical-infused indie rock songs that certainly had its rickety charms, most prominent of the bunch is “Golden Age” — a brash, unapologetic anthem that calls back to the days when Arctic Monkeys’ “Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not” and Twin Door Cinema Club’s “Tourist History” were the jam. Fast forward to 2021, the quartet continues to ride the familiar train with a dancier, groovier approach. “Towns,” their latest single under Lilystars Records, balances pop’s pleasure principle with their penchant for guitar-driven hooks, synth-noodling pipes, and big, ecstatic choruses. “Sound-wise, we took inspiration from various guitar-based artists such as Bombay Bicycle Club, Two Door Cinema Club, and a bunch of other bands with ‘Club’ in their names,” says vocalist and guitarist Jyle Macalintal. “It was also inspired by the music one hears from small town festivals.” The song is now out in various music streaming platforms worldwide.
