Following their 2023 single, The Messenger, indie rock quartet Paper Anthem recently returned with Coelacanth. Written during lead singer Joseph Hitchcock’s time in Seattle’s Chinatown, Coelacanth explores the dynamics of his relationship, where comfort intertwines with elusive honesty. Produced by Danny Monk, the track takes listeners on a surrealistic voyage, reflecting Hitchcock’s tumultuous emotions.
With haunting pianos and ethereal synths, the song gradually builds to a vibrant indie rock crescendo, evoking echoes of noughties indie trailblazers like LCD Soundsystem, Foals, and Bloc Party. Coelacanth solidifies Paper Anthem’s position in the genre’s evolution.
