Papermaps is a Toronto-based rock quintet formed by
producer/songwriter Dean Marino with Todd Harrison (bass and
synthesizer), Wendy Leung (keyboards, vocals) and Bobby Lee (drums).
Formerly EX~PO, the band renamed themselves Papermaps in the autumn of
2010. Their music blends elements of indie rock, art rock,
experimental, shoegaze and electronica while maintaining strong pop
sensibilities. The band is often compared to acts like the Shins,
Spoon, Radiohead and MGMT.
Papermaps rehearses, writes and records out of Dean’s studio, Chemical Sound
which is known for it’s warm and spacious atmosphere as well as a
massive collection of vintage gear. Dean has played host to bands such
as the Black Keys, Sharon Jones and the Dapkings, Tokyo Police Club,
Born Ruffians, Sweet Thing, C’mon and many more.
Their self-titled LP Papermaps, is due February 2011.
