The track is from the band’s celebrated sophomore album Deathlike
Boasting a thoughtful sound that feels both distinctive and fresh while harking back to nostalgic 90’s college radio, Paper Space are a band that have won over admirers over the last decade or so for their earnest charm and the full-blooded authenticity and rawness of their sound.
Their single ‘Impression’ comes from their sophomore LP Deathlike, and is a track that comes armed with a catchy chorus and a heartfelt narrative that leans into the broader overarching themes of the album as a whole. Deathlike is a concept album centered around an ICU patient’s struggle to rebuild his strained family ties as he navigates the aftermath of severe illness and disfigurement, and the soaring ‘Impression’ sees him looking back on his life and experiences, and hoping that they left a lasting mark and impacted the world and people around them. The resonating power of “I hope I made an impression” is something that sticks with you as a listener and provides a profound sense of perspective on the situation that hits like a brick, making a real impression on anyone that hears it.
