Weird music is good for the soul (at least for ours), in particular when it’s well crafted, so we can’t really pass the opportunity to highlight Jerry Paper, a Brooklyn based musical freak we found out through Ava Luna (a band featured on the cover The Deli’s Winter 2012 issue), and the bands they picked for the latest issue of 1.21 GIGAWATTS, a neat, free Brooklyn based magazine that highlights a lot of good local bands, mostly within garage, indie and psych genres. Back to Jerry though. This guy’s music sounds like Brian Eno’s brain buried under an overdove of mushrooms, which is interesting and paradoxical, since Brian Eno is probably the most coldly rational songwriter in the history of pop music. Tonight (May 5th) Jerry is playing a show at Silent Barn’s paradoxically named room Pleasure Jail (a place where, apparently, you can live if you wish so). It may be worth checking him out.
