Today, we are pleased to debut the new track by Jerry Paper! Jerry Paper makes trippy, neo-psychedelic albums that walk the vortex between Ty Segall, New Order, and Velvet Underground.
Speaking to Punknews about the new track "Moonstruck", Nathan Lucas aka Jerry Paper says, "Moonstruck - This one I wrote right after I got home from a 6 week long tour where we only really had two days off… it was a harsh dose of touring but honestly one of the most transformative of my life because I was more present than I’d ever been on tour… less in the numbing-zone and more in the feeling-understanding zone. I was also really loving all my bandmates and the last couple weeks of tour were really fun despite exhaustion; we had two particularly enjoyable experiences that stuck vividly in my mind around the full moon (and a cartoonishly large bag of psilocybin mushrooms) in Tucson (nude in a pool) and Marfa (swinging a big knife) so this little rocker just popped out of me pretty much right when I got home. This song is contextually interesting for me because immediately when I got home from tour I knew something big in my life had to change (which eventually led me to grad school and the life-expansion of becoming a therapist), so this is kind of a meditation on joy even while the earth is shifting beneath you."
