By Your Side
Synth-pop duo Paperwhite, the creative brainchild of siblings Katie and Ben Marshall, is back with a dazzling new single, “By Your Side,” available now on all streaming platforms. The New York-based act—Katie as singer/songwriter and Ben as producer/songwriter—delivers a track that’s equal parts nostalgic and forward-thinking, cementing their place as indie synth-pop trailblazers.
“By Your Side” is an irresistible burst of shimmering pop magic. Hypnotic beats anchor lush, cascading synths, while Katie’s ethereal vocals soar, weaving a soundscape that feels both timeless and fresh. The song’s retro charm, paired with a radiant modern polish, makes it an instant earworm, destined to light up playlists and dance floors alike.
By Your Side is a song we started years ago but kept coming back to. As we explored new themes and sounds for this chapter, the song quickly came to life. It’s about navigating a complicated relationship. Whether with someone else or with yourself, there are two sides to the same story.

Paperwhite
Since their debut over a decade ago, Paperwhite have built a devoted following, earning accolades from heavyweights like Billboard, Vice, and Buzzfeed. Their early work propelled them to the top of the blogosphere, where they twice clinched the Hype Machine’s Most Blogged Artist title. Spotify’s editorial playlists embraced their dreamy sound, and their live performances—sharing stages with acts like Oh Wonder, SOFI TUKKER, and Great Good Fine Ok—solidified their reputation as a must-see indie pop act.
After a brief hiatus, Paperwhite returned in late 2024 with their single “Unfold,” signaling a bold new chapter. “By Your Side” builds on that momentum, offering a glimpse into their forthcoming EP, set for release this spring. The EP promises to stay true to their signature synth-driven style while weaving in natural textures and cinematic depth. Rooted in themes of self-discovery and emotional storytelling, the project invites listeners into a sonic world that’s as immersive as it is heartfelt.
