Orlando, FL’s Henrietta has dwelt in desperate beauty for years, but the band embraces the disparity wholeheartedly on Paper Wings, their second LP with Animal Style Records.

This is perhaps most effective on side-B’s “In the Back Yard,” a sunny, vernal song whose guitars glitter in brief bursts at the beginning of each phrase while the drums hop playfully as if from rock to rock across some sparkling creek. Even vocalist Manuel Urdaneta’s bright warble adds to a seemingly luminous scene , but his lyrics take a sullen turn. “When I go,” he sings as the song climbs toward its desolate conclusion, “just bury me in the backyard / let the dirt hit my body / and I hope I’ll be happy / by then.” This contrast—the brilliant, soaring songs weighted by their brooding lines—exists throughout Paper Wings.
