Washington, D.C. indie-rockers Paperhaus are heavily involved in their local scene: They run a wild DIY show space (also called Paperhaus), and this past weekend they threw a festival called In It Together. That said, they’re getting out of the city soon, starting with a concert in cozy Athens, Ohio (try the seasonal burrito at Casa Nueva, guys) and continuing throughout the Midwest and South, including a stop at Hopscotch. To herald their travels, they’ve sent a new single called “Cairo” ahead of them. It’s one of those songs that starts out atmospheric and whispery but inevitably explodes — a propulsive and high-flying dose of guitar rock buoyed by traces of post-punk, krautrock, and prog. (Note: They describe themselves as “Psychedelic Kraut-pop” on Twitter.) Like Paperhaus themselves, this song never stops charging forward. Listen below.
