GTC REWIND: PADDLEFISH Flyer
Paddlefish Flyer LP is available at Bandcamp, Apple Music
by Walter Price
If you find your soul sonically linked to the era when Dinosaur Jr, Lemonheads, and Sparklehorse ruled your cassette player, then Chicago-based Paddlefish’s new 8-track stunner, ‘Flyer’, is going to move you. A biographical set that songwriter Owen Misterovich explains, “[It’s about] being a kid and feeling like you’re in between two things…you’re maybe not a kid anymore, you’re getting older, but you’re not an adult yet.”
FLYER
Good As Dead
Drain-All
Enough
Built a Glider
The Web
Small Song
Turnpike
Oh Doctor
While each episodic track is heartfelt and standalone moments in time, at first listen or so, this set should be played in tracklist order to witness the memories of disenchantment and coming-to-terms-with play out. You can hear the Matt Dewine-produced album below as well as watch a film for the opening track “Good As Dead”.

Guess it’s time to craft my plan
Leave this place just like it stands
Think it’s time to make my home
On the place as old as stone
