A Paper Corner

A Paper Corner is the musical vessel of Dylan Parkin out of Golden, Colorado. In 2021, Parkin released the ‘I Don’t Know’ EP, a two song release reflecting on personal growth, love, and friendships. The production style reflects a shift away from the shoegazed guitar of the Humans EP and into a funky and electronic approach to his patently dense and playful songwriting.

“Navigating through life’s tangled, beautiful web is often confusing and uncertain. Dylan Parkin, the one-man-band behind A Paper Corner is well aware of this as he favors the journey over the destination in his new EP, I Don’t Know. Parkin, who recently moved to Golden, CO from Pensacola, FL, embraces the vulnerability of change in both his music and his persona. Despite the deeply personal narrative laced throughout Parkin’s music, there is something refreshingly candid about his delivery. It’s clear in the music video for “I Don’t Know” that he doesn’t always take himself so seriously.

Although Parkin’s music might be categorized as dream-pop or shoegaze, his unique sound transcends these traditional labels. His music feels like a strong mixed drink after a tough day, equal parts sweet and intoxicating. After listening to I Don’t Know, you’ll be sure to want another round.

What makes these songs so special is the delicate balance Parkin reaches between introspective lyrics covered in ambiance and the slightly candid nature with which the project was created.”
