PARADISE makes music that takes me out of my head and into my body. One minute I’m looking out at a blue-grey torrential downpour that’s doing great things for the planet and terrible things for my mood, and the next I’m swaying and nodding and breathing and it’s all I need to feel good. With a sound that’s part punk, part noise feedback, part grunge ballad, Paradise makes me see the world through fizzy vision so everything sparkles and winks back at me. I’m listening to their new record Pariah that comes out October 2nd on Debt Offensive Records – pre-order it here (LP) and here (digital). I’m dancing in my house and I just want to go to an endangered DIY spot to see this band live! It’s probably because Pariah has my 90s teenage self screaming “Life is so fucking unfair” and you know what, I agree with her. But at least I have CVLT Nation, and the opportunity to share the full album with you today, and for that I’m grateful. So hit play on Pariah and make sure to pick it up on beautiful creamsicle vinyl so that Paradise can save up for an epic post-pandemic tour.
