Review: Second Date by Paperplane Pursuit

Paperplane Pursuit clearly subscribes to the concept of inclusion — many of its songs invariably has “everybody” in its lyrics. Photo: Paperplane Pursuit

Even if the music leaps out as a sound for the times, it would be lazy to label Paperplane Pursuit’s second full length album, Second Date, cookie cutter pop. But there’s this niggling feeling that the catchy hooks, slick production and well-appropriated arrangements were all put together for a specific audience.

But here’s the thing — why should that be bad? Here’s a band which clearly knows more than a few things about creating music that’s ripe for radio picking and popular consumption. Sometimes, credit doesn’t go to the deserving.
