Paper Aeroplanes is Sarah Howells and Richard Llewellyn. Their musical partnership began six years ago in small town West Wales and in 2009 they released their debut album "The Day we ran into the Sea".
The album with its distinctive sound under Sarah's beautiful vocals was described by the BBC's Adam Walton as "brilliantly crafted and stoked from a bruised heart's embers", and BBC Radio Wales as "the finest radio album to come out of Wales since Rockferry".
Since its release they have made the Radio 2 playlist and supported acts as varied as Ron Sexsmith, Ed Sheeran, Marina and the Diamonds and Chris Wood, as well as securing a live session with the legendary Bob Harris.
Having been compared to the likes of Gemma Hayes, Turin Brakes and Nerina Pallot, this year they released mini-album "We are Ghosts" to more critical acclaim and reviews such as "With songs this good, Paper Aeroplanes deserve a far wider audience" - BBC Music's Robin Denselow; "Album of the Month" - Maverick Magazine and being picked for The Guardian's "F&M playlist".
Paper Aeroplanes are taking those words that you hear in your head and shooting them across the ether. Come fly with them...
"Paper Aeroplanes are an oasis of gravity in a cultural desert of frivolity, of emotion in a cold hearted world. If you're not in tears by the end of A Comfortable Sleep then you're either a Stalinist dictator or a statue. 9/10 " Paul Kerr, Fourohfive 405
"Intimate, jaunty and confident lo-key pop with great melody ." The Guardian
"No pretence , no artifice, just great, memorable songs and a voice that'd charm a piranha" Adam Walton BBC Wales
"My favourite welsh combo since a slice of bara brith and a cup of sweet tea" Beat-Surrender
