To Hell With Tradition “Paper Cuts”

“Paper Cuts” offers the first sneak peak into To Hell With Tradition’s upcoming album Blurred. Founded by songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist Achim Hofmeyer from Heidelberg, Germany. The song continues To Hell With Tradition’s tradition of weaving keyboard-centered soundscapes with Hofmeyer’s introspectively captivating melodic vocals while providing a dynamic upgrade.

“Paper Cuts” is hauntingly intensive and vibrantly uptempo. The dancing rhythms in the track seem to have a classical origin while exploring its unique quirky vibration. It’s upbeat but not without a darker undertone. “Paper Cuts” feels like the cinematic lullaby to a black-and-white scene. The lyrics are in the similar manner. Introspective and haunting, but of course, intriguing melodies are To Hell With Tradition’s strongest suit. The storytelling always draws listener in while his keyboard backdrops set the tone and the atmosphere.

“Paper Cuts” explores an explosive drum beat as To Hell With Tradition dives into an intense, intimate storytelling. It’s vague enough for imagination, but the emotions are specific enough for audiences to relate to. According to the artist, Blurred is going to be his most intimate album to date. In the past, his artistic expression and personal experience have been kept a distance from each other, and the single is seeing these two in direct communication.

Since To Hell With Tradition’s first album, the artist has never stopped expanding his creative horizon. It seems that Blurred will further test Hofmeyer’s versatility as an artist and see him diving deeper into the heart space and mind space.
