Paperwhite is the synth-pop project of New York-based siblings Katie Marshall (singer/songwriter) and Ben Marshall (songwriter/producer). Since making their debut over a decade ago, Paperwhite have captivated fans and tastemakers alike, earning praise from Billboard, Vice, and Buzzfeed, and securing spots on numerous Spotify editorial playlists. The duo quickly became blogosphere favorites, twice earning the Hype Machine title of Most Blogged Artist. Beyond their online acclaim, Paperwhite have shared the stage with Oh Wonder, SOFI TUKKER, and Great Good Fine Ok, solidifying their place as one of indie pop’s most beloved acts.
After a brief hiatus, Paperwhite returned in late 2024, marking the start of a new chapter. Their upcoming EP, their first in nine years, stays true to their dreamy, synth-driven roots while weaving in organic textures and cinematic depth. Grounded in themes of self-discovery, perseverance, and quiet wonder, Paperwhite are crafting music that feels both nostalgic and entirely new.
