Night Sketches

Night Sketches is the follow-up to French pop duet Papooz's first album Green Juice. Night Sketches finds Papooz perfecting their gift for wonky, exotic pop balanced with surreal, character-driven lyricism. "We had this romantic idea of capturing the essence of night life: its stories, its suspicious characters, its highs and lows and put them into pop songs." Whilst Night Sketches continues to keep Papooz' tongue firmly in cheek, there's real precision at play in Armand Cottin and Ulysse Penicaut's assimilation of soft rock, jazz and Brazilian music, leavened with an unmistakably British sense of humour (those lyrics sung in English are not by chance).
