Paperbacks is an indie pop band based in southern Minnesota, helmed by Minneapolis tunesmith Sven-Erik Olsen (vocals & guitar), whose tuneful, dreamy Beatlesque pop gems are brought to life by keyboardist Julie Sweet, bassist Michael Brewer Carina, and drummer Dan Greenwood. The result is an adventurous mix of baroque pop, jangle pop and indie rock that calls to mind a wide variety of influences including Elvis Costello, Built to Spill, Radiohead and Stereolab, but truly sounds like nobody else.
