The kind folks over at Purevolume are streaming the fantastic new record from States, Paradigm, here.

Paradigm is their second record, their first being Room to Run, and it was recorded in both Nashville and North Carolina and was entirely self-produced. If you like what you hear, you can pre-order it over at their merch store.
