Papir is a Copenhagen-based instrumental trio known for crafting an expressive blend of psychedelia, progressive rock, and krautrock. The group consists of guitarist Nicklas Sørensen, bassist Christian Becher Clausen, and drummer Christoffer Brøchmann Christensen. Formed in the late 2000s, Papir quickly established themselves within the European underground scene, revered for their fluid musical communication and expansive soundscapes that weave intricate melodies with powerful improvisational sections.

The band's discography reflects their evolutionary journey through cosmic sound terrains, with each album typically marked by a roman numeral or a variation thereof. Starting with their self-titled debut "Papir" in 2010, the group set the foundation for their explorative sound. Releases such as "Stundum" and "III" further captured their penchant for sprawling jams and intense atmospherics. By the time "IIII" and subsequent albums like "V" and "VI" were unveiled, Papir had solidified their place in the psych-rock echelons with a matured yet uncontainable creativity. Their live performances are particularly celebrated, and the "Live at Roadburn" album encapsulates the raw energy and dynamic expression that define their stage presence. With "7" and the follow-up "7.2," Papir continued to push the boundaries of their sound, ensuring that their musical narrative remains as compelling as ever. Their relentless pursuit of sonic exploration and their ability to seamlessly blend a myriad of influences into a coherent and mesmerizing sound have earned them a devoted international following.
