The Paperhead - Africa Avenue

Africa Avenue by The Paperhead Much has changed for the members of The Paperhead since the release of their Trouble In Mind debut back in 2011 - tours both domestically & abroad, more releases, college, life, work, love, and tragedy. The span of time & growth (both personally & musically) are reflected in the ten tunes on the band’s third album “Africa Avenue” Recorded by the band themselves in bassist Peter Stringer-Hye’s Nashville garage & mixed by Cooper Crain (Cave, Bitchin’ Bajas), “Africa Avenue” finds its groove in it’s unabashed melodicism & pop hooks. The title of the album is an homage to a street the band hung out on as children, and the experiences & memories created there drift in & out of lyrics that are appealingly abstract, but hint at an unspoken narrative. The jaunty opener “Africa” sets the scene with guitarist Ryan Jennings’ acoustic strum & sly synth squiggles, before unloading a crunchy guitar hook unlike anything the band has done
