PAPIER TIGRE (pronouce “Papyeah
Teegrr”) are a 3 piece rock band from Nantes, France, comprising
of Eric Pasquereau (guitar/vocals), Arthur de la Grandiere (guitar), and Pierre
Antoine Parois (drums). Having played together in various projects over the
years (the critically acclaimed Room 204, The patriotic sunday and Argument),
they finally found the opportunity to form a band and pursue their own ideas
in January 2006. The energy and dynamic amongst the three musicians was instant,
and within the short space of a year enough material for a self-titled debut
album was completed. The album was released in France & Europe in April
2007 through French indie label: Collectif Effervescence.
In the absence of a bass guitar, PAPIER TIGRE’s sound
is built around pounding tribal drums that propel each song forward with ruthless
efficiency. This urgency is underlined by the distinctive and insistent vocals
of Eric, his strained yelps acting as a rallying cry to the guitars, which occupy
the space between voice and drums and make it their own. Whether working together
or against each other, the interplay between the two instruments is explosive.
Brittle melodies seemingly scrap with vicious riffs, before the two suddenly
come together to deliver the coup de grace. This is art punk, but at it’s
most primal.
PAPIER TIGRE understands that a song being intelligent and
complex need not exclude it from having a raw, danceable energy. Their music
firmly entrenched in the tradition of inventive, challenging punk - think Fugazi,
Q and Not U, The Ex - yet whilst PAPIER
TIGRE have drawn influence from these bands, they have a style and
delivery all of their own. The mode of communication is rooted firmly in the
contemporary; rhythmically and vocally these songs recall the mutant, angular
disco of Chinese Stars or Liars.
But above all, PAPIER TIGRE is an impressive live act and a
somehow tireless touring band. In less than a year after they started from scratch,
they already played a commanding total of more than 120 shows (and counting)
in 15 different countries ranging from some fairly obvious European territories
to less common countries like China. The band has also had the opportunity to
share stages and tours with some of the top indie acts of the day such as Battles.
2008 will see the band fly over the pond and play several shows in Brazil and
the USA (August), while recording their new material (at Black Box studios with
Iain Burgess) for an end of the year/early 2009 international release.
