With the anticipatory release of their latest record, My Friends, Paper Lions are gracing the East Coast with an appearance at the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn on Aug. 21. Paper Lions are a great example of childhood friends coming together to do something incredible together. The indie-pop sensation brings to light relaxing yet infectious songs that bring to mind the fleeting days of youthful summer, with subtlety in their lyrics that grant the band great depth without getting too dark and melodic.
