Started as Bruno Miguels music project theyre now a live band. Pursuing a balance between acoustic and electronic sounds on instrumental and vocal tracks, Brunos young project has resulted from love of live instrumentation, glitch organic electronics, dream like melodies, pop vocals and cinematic piano ambiences.

After appearances on various international compilations :papercutz is now signed to Montreals Apegenine recordings who has released music by artists like David Kristian, Emanuele Errante, Khonnor, Klaus Lunde (Xerxes), Julien Neto, among others, and their debut album Lylac shows :papercutz stretching their song pop format further.

Their special edition Ultravioleta rmx's features their album single Ultravioleta and remixes from known artists The Sight Below (Ghostly International), Neotropic (Ninja Tune, Mush), Spandex (Sleep Debt, Hand on the Plow) and Signer (Carpark Records).



Press:

On his debut full-length release Lylac, Bruno Miguel (aka :papercutz) creates an arrestingly original experimental pop style by marrying glitch-laden electronics and funky beat programming to soaring vocal melodies evocative of the producer's native Portugal and acoustic instrumentation (piano, strings, xylophone, melodica)."

Textura

"Bruno Miguel has created a work which doesn't show off with its diversity but instead presents a whole new vision of what antiquated terms like "Pop, "Electronica and "Contemporary Composition might mean in the 21st century. It might be a good idea to ask for other people' s advice at times. But in this case, the best recommendations for Miguel about the future direction of :papercutz is probably to follow his own instincts."

Tokafi (Album of the month)

"A bewitching album that invites you on a fascinating trip into the world folk experimental pop music. One of the best releases in 2008! 10***"

Cuemix-magazine

"Its an LP specialising in a vibrant and emotional blend of electronica, glitch and synth-pop, one that provides the kind of understated intensity perfect for late night introspection."

Experimusic

"Lylac is quite an accomplished form, its balance between acoustic and electronic approaches is seamless and invisible, vocal presence is foregrounded and yet not dominant, clarity of intonation of the piano, xylophone and melodicia display the technical achievements. Lovers of glitch electronicia, acoustic jazz fusion and classical ambience will be amply rewarded by the sophisticated simplicity of this album."

Cyclicdefrost

"Lylac is ultimately a promising start to what ought to be a brilliant career."

The Silent Ballet

"From digitally manipulated recordings of organic instruments, to organic interpretations of abstract digitalismIve always thought of our five senses as just receptors of various communication protocols through which we all attempt to send or receive a message. On Lylac, Miguel does just that. He fans out the confetti of his shredded thoughts into our ears where they circle, float, and finally settle to cover the empty spaces occupied by silence."

Headphone Comute

"...elegantly crafted in a pop sense where glitch based idm meets acoustic rhythms and vocals."

Emerging Sounds

"Sometimes you get albums like this, filled with melodies, rhythms and vocals, that uplifts, inspires and somehow restores a little faith that music can still surprise you and still give you something new. Sweet, soothing and intoxicating... and now I'm starting to run out of descriptives! Buy it and see what I mean for yourself."

Kate Turgoose (10/10) (Connexion Bizarre)

"Schner intensiver Pop fernab der Massenware!"
