In anticipation for his forthcoming Paragon EP, set to be released on April 16th, Paper Diamond has debuted the EP’s second single as a free download. In typical Paper Diamond fashion, heavily compressed synthesis construct a chilling soundscape of echoing electronica driven forward by a bevy of syncopated percussion.
