Only During Thunderstorms is Paper Moon‘s third full-length record; an exploration into an edgier, more energetic sound that better suilted their personalities. Lead vocalist Allison Shevernoha sings about relationships, friendships and the difficulties encountered in daily life with a wry poignancy, supported by sophsticated pop instrumentation. The album was created with the assistance of friend and up-and-coming producer Ryan Worsley (Dawntreader, Maplewood Lane), who brought new life and perspective to the songs.
