PAPER JETS

The Slow Jets critically acclaimed first two albums Worm into Phoenix and Good Morning Stars established the band as one of the preeminent art rock outfits. Skyscraper Magazine called the group's last effort "One of the Best Albums you didn’t hear." The Big Takeover raved that the Jet's "possess the chops, the skills., the range and energy", Ghetto Blaster pronounced the group easily "passes the test" of making "consistently interesting" records.

Now, with the original line-up and revamped sound the Slow Jets have morphed into rocking doppelgangers the Paper Jets, a re-fi, deconstructed version of the Slow Jets featuring legendary Oranges Band frontman Roman Kebler, bassist and songwriter Rick Ivy, and Slow Jets guitarist Greg Preston.

Writing songs with chaotic clarity and unwieldy cohesion, the Paper Jets offer a series of powerful compositions that re-invent the concept of pop structure, wired with indelible melodies and eccentric lyrics, a Slow Jets signature. Adding to the depth of the record is it’s textured progression from the sub-rock simmering of "summer of The Shark" to the full out sonic assault of "Propeller Planes." As evidenced by past efforts of these talented musicians, We Tried... solidifies the Jet's standing as one of the most accomplished craftsman of the lo-fi rock sound
