Band I’m In Love With – Papier Tigre (France)
I’m working on a European indie rock compilation for my label Chocolate Lab Records and I just stumbled upon Papier Tigre from Nantes, France. They’re Chicagoan by association having recorded one of their albums at Iain Burgess’ Black Box studio in La Dionnaie, France. Those who know know. Those who don’t -- Burgess, who died earlier this year, is considered an architect of the Chicago punk sound, having worked with bands like Big Black and Naked Raygun. I’m going to try and listen to everything they have recorded right now. You can watch this live video for “Indoor Islands.”
