Rise Carmine Signs to Paper Bag Records, Announces New EP, Shares New Single & Video “Come In Closer”

Toronto-based multi-instrumentalist and psych-rock artist Liam Colbert—better known as Rise Carmine—has officially signed to Paper Bag Records and is announcing his forthcoming EP, set for release later this fall.

A poised and compelling rising talent, Colbert first emerged under the name Patiohawk, gaining early attention with a self-produced album in 2017. In 2022, he reintroduced himself as Rise Carmine with the bold and sonically ambitious No Coup For Anyone, produced by Grammy-winning heavyweight Dave Schiffman (Weezer, PUP, Vampire Weekend). Now, the boundary-pushing and elusive presence is back—ready to carve his name into the modern alternative scene.

Rise Carmine shares his latest single, “Come in Closer”—a fluttering, woozy psychedelic journey that transports listeners to another realm. Sensual, groovy, and completely unique, it’s a track that stands out in today’s musical landscape, embracing both nostalgia and innovation.

Drawing inspiration from early ’90s psych and alt-rock, Colbert is crafting a new age of psychedelia that hasn’t been heard in decades. His music pays homage to past generations while reimagining those sounds for a new audience. Haunting, immersive, and genre being, Rise Carmine’s work pulls listeners in—and doesn’t let go. “Come in Closer” is out August 6th via Paper Bag Records.
