Paper Citizen releases searing new single ‘Defuse’

Singapore-born, Boston-raised, and now LA-based, Claire Gohst, the mind behind Paper Citizen, returns with her latest single ‘Defuse’, a cathartic blast of kaleidoscopic indie-rock built from the bones of displacement and defiance.

Written in the wake of years spent navigating the complex realities of immigration, ‘Defuse’ channels a whirlwind of emotion into a soaring, guitar-driven release. Against a backdrop of rising xenophobia and political unrest, Gohst transforms personal struggle into collective expression.
