In April 2010 they posted on their Twitter[24] a list of studios used for 'In Loving Memory' and on their official Facebook fan page they mentioned "They are almost finished their second album which is called In Loving Memory".[25] Early in 2010 the band signed a publishing deal with Dramatico Publishing, a New York based publisher.[26] The band released Lung Sum in October 2010.

McFall has previously worked with UK rock band Bloc Party[28] and Canadian indie rock group Stars In Loving Memory Critical ReceptionIn Loving Memory was released on 17 June 2011 and has been critically acclaimed by both Australian and overseas media: "In Loving Memory is a feat of originality and discipline" Brag Magazine (Aus)[29] "One of the most indisputably forward thinking albums of 2011" Stereoboard (UK)[30] "In Loving Memory is a revelation. I am not overly familiar with The Paper Scissors, and what I assumed would be a slightly better than average album has been one of my favorites of 2011" Indie Shuffle (U.S)[31] The album was featured as Album of The Week on Sydney's influential FBi Radio as well as receiving regular airplay on Californian StationKCRW which is considered "one of the most influential independent music radio stations around the globe"KCRW Wiki. Free EP and disbandingThe band released an EP for a free download through their website in May 2012. It was titled 'Free' and it was accompanied by four music videos by Sydney based artists. The video clip for 'Held Down Threw Up' debuted on ABC TV's music program Rage on Friday 17 August. The band announced through their official Twitter account "here's some news- its gonna be our second last show ever." on Tuesday 28 August. They posted an official statement on 29 August on their website stating reasons for the breaking up including "Sometimes it’s pretty tiring being in a band. I know to people that haven’t ever been in a band that might sound a bit self piteous and indulgent, but it is hard. Playing to no one, having higher expectations for your music than what is met, the fact that it is nearly impossible to make it a career in Australia as a musician (it is a big big country, with not many people and one very fickle national radio station) all these things can grate away at you." [32]They announced that they would play one last show in Sydney before the end of 2012. Since disbandingSince The Paper Scissors disbanded- members Jai Pyne and Ivan Lisyak have remained active in the music scene in Sydney. Ivan Lisyak has played with Philadelphia Grand Jury, Tanned Christ, Jack Colwell, Post Paint and Marcus Whale[33] as well as making music as HVISKE[34] with Sydney artist/singer Kusum Normoyle. Jai Pyne formed a record label called Turktown with fellow musician and producer Caleb Jacobs[35] and released a solo EP called 'Jaisus'[36] in 2015. He also composes music for film and television [37] and started a cafe called Fleetwood Macchiato [38] Awards
