Drawing on influences that span from the trip hop era of Portishead to the folk roots Iron & Wine, The Paper Waits are an alt-folk duo from the north of England. 

Still on a search for what it means to be a human in the digital age, the pair explore melancholic poetic visions, alongside the inexplicable experience of individual and collective passion. In doing so, they blend moody vocal harmonies and intricate guitar parts while maintaining a considered yet raw soundscape.
 
After the release of ‘Lights Low’ in 2020, the pair embraced the chance to retreat, and develop their sound through the wisdom and discomfort gained through isolation. Where momentum was gained on the live show front prior to lockdown , the highlight of which was playing at Live at Leeds, honing their songwriting craft as a duo became the focus for the coming months. 

Now back with a developed and polished sound, the pair are set to release the first single from their latest body of work at the end of this month. 

They are supported by Jericho Keys of BBCIntroducing York and North Yorkshire and have achieved 'Record of the Week' on three occasions, including for their latest release 'On and On'. 

"Their haunting guitar work and the way that their voices just blend together, is a real thing of beauty".

"Rufus and Ellie effortlessly weave their lyrics and melodies into beautiful short stories which you never want to end.”
