CLAPTRAP is a quartet led by Eric Pasquereau (Papier Tigre, La Colonie de Vacances, The Patriotic Sunday), alongside Julien Chevalier, Paul Loiseau and Elia Guérin. The band crafts a tropical, progressive and experimental form of pop, somewhere between post-bossa, baroque exotica and orchestral indie music. Through an unusual instrumentation — mandolin, unconventional percussion, synthesizers, weathered guitars and expressive vocals — CLAPTRAP creates lush, melodic and unpredictable songs. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Robert Wyatt, Franco Battiato, Caetano Veloso, Os Mutantes and Broadcast, their music balances radiant euphoria with subtle unease. With their second album *Second Guessing* (2026), the band continues its pursuit of adventurous, emotionally rich and unmistakably unique pop music.
