Armand & Ulysse, initially brought together during teenage literary gatherings in Paris, found their true calling in music. Ditching early aspirations of a political zine, the duo honed their bossa nova-influenced pop sound, drawing inspiration from a diverse range of artists, from the Beach Boys to Karen Dalton. Their album 'Night Sketches,' recorded in Paris and with influences from the city's nightlife and the Atlantic coast, showcases their unique blend of storytelling and laid-back vibes.
Papooz's music, exemplified by tracks like 'Danger To Myself' and 'Bubbles,' delves into themes of love, self-destruction, and existential crises with a touch of humor. Their willingness to infuse their music with self-mockery and quirky synths highlights their playful and creative approach to songwriting. Through their music and visuals on platforms like YouTube, Papooz maintains a fresh and engaging perspective on storytelling and musical expression.
