Editorial review
Sprinkled with new wave theatrics and a sweet bubblegum pop or girl group flavoring, this Canadian group knows what it can and cannot pull off. The tight jangle rock of "Start Over" and "Your Thesaurus Won't Help You Now" is constant but competes with a synthesizer element, resembling a modern-day version of the Bangles or Go-Go's. Although some titles might be a bit wordy or eclectic, the group's plan of airtight pop rhythms and cavity-inducing harmonies is bound to attract power pop listeners. Both Heather Campbell and Alison Somers share most of the vocals, including the pretty "Mercury Is Clearly Opposing Neptune." Unfortunately, when the band changes pace, songs suffer as a result. "Sno-Globe" is a soppy downbeat track that adds little to the album. In other songs, such as the melodic "Pancake Bay Weather Station," the band resembles Sixpence None the Richer in its tone. The song also contains some orchestral strings in its chorus. There is no more defining track than "Better Days," with a gentle harmony and sweet pop arrangement. Another great track is the high-school slow-dance track "I've Done It Wrong Again," although it tends to lose a bit of its steam near its culmination. ~ Jason MacNeil, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Paper Moon is a pop band from Winnipeg, Canada. ONE THOUSAND REASONS TO STAY...ONE REASON TO LEAVE is the group's debut full-length. Released in Canada in June 2002, the record hit #5 on the National Campus Radio Charts and collected accolades from press across the country and around the world.
Described as "a perfect dose of perfect pop," (London Scene), the songs on ONE THOUSAND REASONS TO STAY... are "short, sweet, and catchy as hell" (Exclaim Magazine). The album was released on Quince records in Japan in July of 2002.
The musicians in Paper Moon have garnered plenty of attention for their past efforts. Created a few months after the amicable dissolution of the critically-acclaimed Winnipeg pop group B'ehl , Allison Shevernoha and Chris Hiebert (also ex- The Bonaduces ) recruited Heather Campbell (ex-The Electrosonics and Bossanova) to form Paper Moon. Rob Rodgers (A Day In August) joined the band in 2003 to replace original bassist Bob Somers.
