PAPA

I am slightly obsessed with L.A.-based PAPA. It started off as innocent attraction after I saw them perform at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, but since then it's become a full-blown "I want you now" kind of crush. Don't tell my boyfriend.They recently premiered their new single, "Put Me To Work," and it's fantastic. If this is any indication of what their upcoming full-length (out sometime next year) will sound like, I'm incredibly excited. Put quite simply, PAPA represents everything right about indie rock. They're kind of Wolf Parade meets Arcade Fire, channeling the best of those two sounds. Just press play to see what I mean. Oh, and if you didn't read my live show review, then you might not know that the lead singer is also the drummer. I mean, if that doesn't spell out "sex god" then I don't know what does.
