The Patriotic Sunday

The return of Eric Pasquereau aka The Patriotic Sunday !  After 4 years of absence and the album Lay your soul bare - joyous folk pop with thrilling intimacy - The Patriotic Sunday, unwilling to follow the oft-repeated formula – that of a singer with an acoustic guitar – today surrounds himself with many musician friends to create Characters.
The first songs were written solo then transformed into a group with Jonathan Seilman (This Melodramatic Sauna), Pierre Antoine Parois, and Arthur de la Grandière (of Papier Tigre) and were recorded throughout the summer of 2007 with Miguel Constantino, in the family home. Characters mixes Elliot Smith, Modest Mouse and David Grubbs to name a few. The name dropping is endless here so the album’s diversity of sounds and atmospheres is incredibly rich. The lyrics are all multiple personalities and characters condensed into a single person, hence the album title. In short, mild schizophrenia coloured with humour, to mask the emptiness of a life without risk.
