Melancholy never sounds as lovely as when it's in the hands of San Francisco's Papercuts, aka Jason Quever.  April will see the release of You Can Have What You Want - 10 new tracks that immediately grab your heart and don't let go even when the last cheerfully forlorn "oh oh oh"s are through.  Today on RCRD LBL we premiere Papercuts' cover of Casiotone For the Painfully Alone's "Baby It's You."  Well, here's a lesson that if you write about misery ("can you believe, I don't recall if we ever kissed") you can count on Jason for company.  He sweeps you up in the lushly told story of unlistened to mix tapes, unread letters and fears of it being "too late for that now," and we have to wait for the last line of the song to find out how doomed we are.  "Baby It's You" indeed.
