Recorded before relocating to the Midwest state of Missouri and continuing on with the rock n' soul that infects PAPER SUN's music, the new EP release, "Little Brother" captures a time of transition and reconfiguration of the band. Singer/guitarist Joel Eckels entered the studio with percussionist Chris Lovejoy and singer Dawn Thomas to track five songs in an acoustic format to display another dimension of Eckels songs. It is the most intimate writing of Eckels' career to date. A much more personal perspective of life, love and loss.

ALL ACCESS MAGAZINE (Jan. 2005) - Like a Salvador Dahli painting set to motion with a broken back beat and easy laid back vibe. That is how I would describe L.A. based groovers, Paper Sun. Where the '60s had a fair amount of great blue-eyed soul, in the new millennium , Paper Sun are here to, not only re-introduce the genre, but to re-invent it. If you are open-minded and appreciate originality, I know you will love Paper Sun. These guys put forth the most amazing array of jazz/soul/rock you can imagine. From the moment you hit play until the moment the disc player coasts to a stop, everything else vanishes. From Sally Jaye's powerful vocal dynamics ala Beth Hart, as she soulfully charms her way into your heart with, "Never Alone" and "Sweet Thing", where Joel Eckels' vocal styling charms you and reminded me of a cross between a smooth blend of Citizen Cope and Ben Harper on tracks like, the rock and soul mover "Los Angeles" and the groove laden, "Do Ya". Sally Jaye and Joel Eckels have such great chemisty and are two individuals whose vocals ranges have no boundaries. While the rhythm section of drummer Adam Marcello and bassist Carson Cohen, make sure that your groove is kept in check. The songs are so catchy and different at the same time, they are smooth jazz and funky rock and danceable beats. It's music to soothe whatever savage beast you might have lurking inside. With all these talents thrown into a mix, you get a stew that not only tastes good the first time, but rather is actually worth keeping so when it comes time for leftovers, you got something worthwhile. Paper Sun's music is all about the movin' and groovin' of your soul. Let me tell you, it did mine. If you could only have a few CDs on a desert island,'Good Things' by Paper Sun should be one of them.
