After spending 2015 exclusively recording and releasing cover songs (Nutlets 1967-80 and the Sullivan's Travels EP) Papernut Cambridge return with their fourth LP Love The Things Your Lover Loves and its instrumental companion piece Other Things Your Lover Loves. In a move away from the extended guest list of contributors on the previous albums, the line up this time has solidified into a comparatively modest 8-piece band of core collaborators who've come to make up the regular Papernut gigging unit over the last couple of years.

Ian Button and his creative collective of friends, bandmates and labelmates continue to be inspired by melodic vintage pop production and songwriting, and are still resolutely and unashamedly making records that could sit quite comfortably in a much earlier decade as well as this one. Their studies of early 70s pop (the work of Edison Lighthouse, Hot Chocolate, Cockney Rebel etc) for last year's Nutlets project have undoubtedly informed this album, and there are other touches here and there too: Byrdsy space-country...;.. Psychedelic Furs style 80's VU...;Big Star meets ELO guitar pop...;. the quirky stomp of the Bonzos or Bowie's Arnold Corns side project.

This instrumental version of the album is being released alongside the complete vocal version. Inspired by classic library and theme music, the lead vocals have been replaced here by other instruments and melodies, and each track has been reworked into a new version: it's music to do something else to.

Personnel: Ian Button, Robert Rotifer, Robert Halcrow, Ralegh Long, Darren Hayman, Jack Hayter, Helène Bradley, Emma Winston
