Last year, we reported that Winnipeg, MB power pop dudes the Paperbacks were planning a double LP. While letting time pass often gives artists the ability to pare their work, over a year has passed, and the band's upcoming album is still a double-disc effort, one that boasts 32 tracks.
The album is called Lit From Within, and was recorded by bassist Jaret McNabb in his home studio. If the tracks "Slow Learners" and "Make Art," which are currently streaming on the band's MySpace page, are any indication, this might be one of those rare double albums that's more killer than filler.
Lit From Within will be released on January 12 via Parliament of Trees and features the cover above.
