Bio

With songs that ponder the meaning of life, love, and our fleeting existence in this beautiful world, Paper Cranes' music is warm, yet melancholy.

Paper Cranes weave their stories into captivating and dynamic live performances in songs that move between delicacy and outright abandon.

Husband-and-wife team Fraser and Naomi Browne are the driving force behind the group, and the music shows touches of their upbringing, a mixture of Japanese, Swedish, Australia and NZ. The band's music delves into themes of togetherness and relationships, the echoes that pull us together and send us apart. In its darkness and lightness, Voices is about doubt and freedom, the changing seasons, the decisions that lead us, the lies we’re told and the search for truth, while The Road Home explores themes of healing and recovery, and how each journey can lead us to unexpected yet welcome change.

The band have gigged regularly around their home town Auckland - including performances at Japan Day and Music in Parks – and have played a number of festivals including Festival One and Auckland Folk Festival, and have been on four nationwide tours. Having recently moved to Tauranga, the pair have set up a new band in support of their latest album Voices, and embarked on a ten-date tour around the country.

The band released their debut EP Oh, Love! in September 2012, and their warmly received album The Road Home in March, 2015. The Road Home reached #29 on the music charts (#6 on the NZ artist charts) and was nominated for the Taite award. The latest album Voices was released January 18, 2019 and debuted at #1 on the IMNZ charts and #12 on the NZ artists NZ music charts.
