Swedish Kraut/postpunk act Paper has signed a licensing deal with Novoton Records via their own label Destruction Production for the release of their forthcoming album, due out in February. The band describes the situation like so:

Novoton releases/distributes everything that is released on Destruction Production (wich is a creative-destruction platform created and managed by Paper. The idea is to produce destruction by being creative. Much like the weapon industry but without the physical consequences. One could compare it to the Norwegian blackmetal scene as well).

Said album is currently in the mixing stage, but you can also check the band out at Debaser Malmö next Friday November 16.
