Since releasing three EP’s - Paper Route (2006), A Thrill of Hope (2006) and Are We All Forgotten (2008)- the band has continually received praise from critics and fans alike...

“Paper Route are America’s answer to symphonic-pop artists like Elbow, M83 and Air, especially on Absence tracks like the propulsive ‘Tiger Teeth’ and anthemic, Doves-like ‘Last Time.’” - Rolling Stone

“Filling the gap that retro-synth group the Killers have left with their last few records, and capitalizing on, in their subtler moments, the electronically induced emo-pop that fans have been biding for since the Postal Service emerged, Paper Route are nostalgically sweet and atmospherically dreamy.” - Performing Songwriter

“Absence is a dazzling and haunting soundclash of electronica and indie with bits of lo-fi, shoegaze and folk thrown in for added confusion; think Editors, Bon Iver and Imogen Heap mixed in a blender.” - Alternative Press

“The starkness in these songs is striking; the hurt palpable…a refreshing mix of the organic and the electronic, with quality songwriting to match.” - Paste

“[Paper Route] has combined a great sense of melody and soaring guitar pop with electronic trimmings.” - Filter"The compositions are in a word: divine.” - Nylon
