WHAT IS PAPER TELESCOPE?

Paper Telescope Press is an independent music and culture blog dedicated to magnifying the sounds, stories, and subcultures orbiting just outside the mainstream. We’re drawn to the handmade, the off-center, the songs crafted in bedrooms, the art born from late-night ideas, and scenes held together by community and curiosity.

Like its namesake, Paper Telescope looks at the world through something imaginative and handcrafted. We explore emerging artists, experimental projects, underground movements, and the emotional landscapes that shape them. Our focus isn’t hype; it’s honesty. We write about music, art and culture the way it’s supposed to feel. intimate, weird, nostalgic, electric, human.

Rooted in DIY ethos and a love for the obscure, we’re here to celebrate everything that thrives in the margins: indie releases, local scenes, the stories that never make the press kits.

Paper Telescope Press isn’t just a blog it’s a little observatory for cultural constellations you won’t find anywhere else.
