Eclectic act Paper Thieves impressed last year with “Trouble,” a track that impressed with its murky bass, mellow keys, and brass adornments — sounding like an accompaniment to a spy film, a la Pizzicato Five. The band returns with the track “Viganella” and its engaging, creative music video. Tranquil guitar trickles accompany Leah Christensen’s cool vocals, with washes of synths at the two-minute mark emerging; lush synth pads and melodic stabs become a mainstay at this point throughout the track’s duration, especially during the delectably synth-driven interlude at 02:30. Chalk “Viganella” as another stellar success from Paper Thieves.
