'Generally melancholy in tone and tempo, Bright Red Paper's combination of cello, drums, electric bass and guitar builds to a dangerous gallop, a break likely to flood the mind's eye with dramatic scenes. The music is hypnotizing.'~ The Oregonian 'BRP is at once ethereal, intensely melodic and emotional, building and flowing, like a piece of paper swirling and diving in an updraft… This is the music of barren landscapes, of snow falling through trees, of wind slipping across open plains. It is vast and mind-blowingly expansive, dark and rich. The songs evolve from hours of improvisation until themes emerge, the lilting melodies that take you on a slow ride, that climb heavenward then fall like a feather floating down… and it's Jenkins' cello that pulls it all together, a bright ray of light curving through the shadows… There is peace in the rise and fall of build-up, tension, then resolution.'~ The Eugene Weekly 'Eclectic and mesmerizing are two words that tend to get abused when describing music, so let’s label Bright Red Paper enchanting. This local four-piece makes music to daydream to… and that sense of playfulness permeates the music. … Bright Red Paper’s debut album wanders through wistful territory and flirts with longing without being dragged down by the weight of its own seriousness'~ The Portland Tribune |
