Papercuts is an American indie pop project centered on San Francisco songwriter/producer Jason Robert Quever.

Quever was born and raised in Humboldt, California, spending a number of his early years in a commune, then moving to the Bay Area at the age of 10.

Papercuts covered Don Henley's "Boys of Summer" for the American Laundromat Records charity CD Sing Me To Sleep - Indie Lullabies.

The bands that Papercuts have toured with include Grizzly Bear, Beach House, Camera Obscura, Still Corners and Vetiver.

In a 2007 live review in The New York Times, Jon Pareles described the band: "Melding sustained organ chords with slow fingerpicked guitar, the Papercuts’ music merged Velvet Underground ballads with touches of the Byrds, while Jason Quever sang in a high, diffident voice about elusive love.
