Paper Canyon is the debut studio album by English post-rock band Codes in the Clouds.

[5] According to guitarist Stephen Peeling, the title of the album is a metaphor for the band's music.

[6] Chris Hidden of Rock Sound noted that the songs are "slow burners" that are "not as immediate or obviously melodic as the likes of Explosions in the Sky or This Will Destroy You," but instead build to a "crescendo".

[2] Paper Canyon was released on 1 June 2009 in the UK, Ireland, and Benelux on Erased Tapes Records.

Hidden wrote that the album "might not be a classic post-rock record," but that "it brims with potential and suggests what's to come next should be something really special.
