THE LIGHT BELOW WALKING PAPERS PLUS

With this very solid lineup of players at the helm, plus Aaron Spiro handling production, the twelve track album starts with the honest, yet cynical “The Value Of Zero.” From here The Light Below spins its antenna into a more spiritual direction that seemingly grasps at the reigns through the strength of a higher power. Now returning with a follow up to 2018’s Wp2, on board for The Light Below are Dan Spalding on bass, Will Andrews on drums, Angell’s bandmate from The Missionary Position, Benjamin Anderson on keyboards, along with appearances from Stone Temple Pilots’ Dean DeLeo playing some guitar and Gregor Lothian tuning in with the saxophone. Those whom have followed the band over the last decade are also well aware that at one point Duff McKagan was a part of the team, but has since left due to his full-time commitment to Guns N’ Roses, and for Walking Papers’ 2013 debut album, Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready offered contributions as well.

Which leads us to the newest release from Walking Papers, The Light Below due out on February 5th, 2021 through Carry On Music.įresh out of the Blues Rock scene, the Seattle based Walking Papers was started by The Missionary Position’s Jeff Angell (vocals) along with Screaming Trees’ Barrett Martin (drums). Causing economical destruction on a global scale, while live music may be on pause in most places, new albums are thankfully here to stay. With everything going on in the world these days, it acts as more of a life blood since the entire music industry has taken such a heavy blow due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Creativity and musical expression is the spice of life.
