Jason Quever has been releasing timeless dream pop as Papercuts since 2004; his new album "Past Life Regression" is a journey into the dreamier reaches of psychedelic folk-pop that digs deep into influences as wide-ranging as The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band, Spiritualized, Echo & The Bunnymen, Leonard Cohen and late 60s pop of various flavors. Jason's songcraft, arranging and production are immaculate as always, reflecting his broad experience and enlivened by his move back home to the San Francsico Bay Area. It's remarkable that after more than 15 years he's writing his best songs and in "Past Life Regression" has made his finest record. Gorgeous, perfectly constructed chamber pop for the very unusual times we're living through.

LYRICS

I should be more motivated 
This isn’t how good stories are created
Maybe I’m lazy
I should be more concentrated 
Feel the fire burning to make it
Maybe I’m lazy
Or maybe it’s

Three recessions in thirty years
A handheld newscycle full of fear 
Maybe I’m just diluted by trauma 
From living in an endless apocalyptic drama

Try to think of life somewhere secluded 
Why does that goal feel so deluded 
Maybe I’m lazy
I don’t  have the emotional energy
To think of my own self so tenderly 
Maybe I’m lazy
Or maybe it’s 

Three recessions in thirty years
A handheld newscycle full of fear 
Maybe I’m just diluted by trauma 
From living in an endless apocalyptic drama
The rich burning our planet to ashes
Our own lives dictated by fascists
How could I be feeling any calmer
I’m living in an endless apocalyptic drama

The spark left my eyes
Once the gaping divide was lost
On the horizon 

Maybe I’m lazy
Heck if you say so
Maybe I’m lazy
Or maybe it’s 

Three recessions in thirty years
A handheld newscycle full of fear 
Maybe I’m just diluted by trauma 
From living in an endless apocalyptic drama
The rich burning our planet to ashes
Our own lives dictated by fascists
How could I be feeling any calmer
I’m living in an endless apocalyptic drama

SOOT SPRITE - Lazy

ALWAYS WASHING DISHES
(c) JunkHeap Sep 02 2025

I’m thinking about relaxing; sit down and grab the remote.
Me and my girl are chillin’ back.  She says to me, 
‘Oh no you don’t, it’s your turn’.  

I’m always washing dishes.

My mind drifts off thinking,
why, why, as I say up to the sky.
I won’t comply... but I know that’ll leave me in the doghouse.
So I grudgingly start to fill the sink, oh ya.
Building up that sudsy goodness, cleaning going well; pearly white dishes.
...and my lady she is just lounging, it’s not fair.
watching Unsolved Mysteries on streaming.

Always washing dishes.

Just once I’d like to, just once...
Put them to the side, let it all slide for the evening. 
Put them to the side, let it all slide for the evening.

I’m always washing dishes.
