Papier Tigre

**Papier Tigre** is a French experimental rock duo from Nantes, known for their frenetic energy and genre-blurring sound. Formed in 2009 by Julien Gasc and Pierre-Henri “P.H.” Le Jannic, the pair crafts intricate rhythms that mash punk urgency with math rock precision and electronic textures. Their debut album, *Recreation* (2010), set the tone with its jagged riffs and playful chaos, earning them a cult following in Europe’s indie scene. Over the years, they’ve sharpened their signature mix of cerebral compositions and danceable grooves, showcased in releases like *The Beginning and End of Now*. Renowned for their electrifying live shows, Papier Tigre remains a thrilling outlier, bending post-punk and art-rock into shapes that feel both calculated and wildly spontaneous.
