“Love lost or gained, a river run or contained, the human condition is always relevant with the earth’s shape and existence. With that said, the title track of See You Tonight is alive with such purity and recognition of the most vulnerable and strong of all organs: the heart. With a power forward of melody uplifting thematic prowess, See You Tonight will leave you breathless. The synergy and typecast love that is transcendent in this record of vintage and prominent spiritual vibes will have you searching for some yourself. Encouraging and endearing is the very promise that See You Tonight offers. With enchantments and melodically blissful content you will be lost in a haze of timeless love. I suggest this record to those whom are patient, kind, and seeking validity to this ever-confusing rat race.”

— Jake St. Vincent, Nerdpop

“Out of Devore comes The Paper Crowns, a folk-inspired combo whose songs cross so many genres that all you need to know is that if you like music, there’s something for you there. The group, which has delved into folk and Americana, recorded and mixed the album at home and took on all of the instruments except for the drums on a few tracks. The title track is sublime and the beautiful pairing of the voices of Nicole Pond vocals of Spiro Nicolopoulos is the real star of the album. I first met Spiro back when Rolling Reunion was around, a jam-tastic experimental group. As much as I loved what he did with that group, I think The Paper Crowns are even stronger and it’s really the hard work he and Nicole have put into the group and the beautiful music they make together.”

— Vanessa Franko, The Press Enterprise

“Here it is, the debut Album from The Paper Crowns and if you are a fan of Americana folk rock, it is a must have. It opens with ‘River Song’, which is heavy with Jerry Garcia riffing for you deadheads, it sets a nice traveling pace and immediately catches you with a hook and never lets you go. It showcases their vocal harmonies and from there, each song on the album moves you through a variety of emotional landscapes as vivid and diverse as the American culture which seems to have inspired it. The 3rd song, ‘Everyday Now’ has some wicked guitar reverb and echoes with feedback that is perfectly set up by the thumping acoustic rhythms Every song takes you someplace new but perhaps the most solidly out of place song happens to be a number called Devil Got To Play, but not because of the songwriting as much as the hard driven guitar style and psychedelic vocals, reminiscent of the Nirvanas’ rendition of Plateau, which is not necessarily a bad thing. By the time you get to it, ”

— The Hazard Report
