Amoeba Music

Trick or treat into Amoeba Berkeley on Friday, October 19th at 5pm and celebrate the night HE came home...again. That’s right, we’ll be spinning the all-new score for the upcoming David Gordon Green film, Halloween, in its entirety! Composed by John Carpenter, Cody Carpenter, and Daniel Davies, this new take on an old classic will put the fear of the Boogie Man back into your very soul all over again. We’ll have special goodie bags and other surprises courtesy of our friends at Sacred Bones Records, plus a live DJ and TONS of candy!

Papercuts celebrate the new album Parallel Universe Blues (out 10/19 on Slumberland Records) with a live performance and signing at Amoeba!

Papercuts' new album Parallel Universe Blues has a sound that is intimate and close, nicely balancing the sonic concerns of the last few Papercuts records: perfect Spectorian pop songs echoed down through The Velvet Underground, LA's Paisley Underground, Spiritualized and The Jesus and Mary Chain. Songs like "Laughing Man," "How To Quit Smoking," "Sing To Me Candy" and "Clean Living" are all gorgeous, melodic gems, never sacrificing song-writing for atmospherics and bringing to mind late night/rainy day albums like "Darklands" and "Chelsea Girl." "Parallel Universe Blues" is a triumph and points to more great things in the future from Quever and Papercuts.
