Biography

The Patriotic Sunday is a harbour. A harbour that stays firmly on land while people come and go and songs of long lost friends and old memories are crooned at bar counters and in cheap hotel rooms. Eric Pasquereau writes songs to find his way back home. His ever-changing band follows the tides and the wind. The Patriotic Sunday began as a general plea to an ex-girlfriend, a man coming to terms with lovelessness and teenagehood. On his 2005 début ‘Lay Your Soul Bare‘, Pasquereau developed a flawless blend of indie-rock influences, jazz chords and bossa-nova rhythms which were as sincere as the confessional lyrics that led the melodies. After several years pursuing his other project, PAPIER TIGRE, Pasquereau then attempted something of a pocket pop symphony with ‘Characters‘ in 2009. Whilst the music is immediate and accessible, lyrically the album explores denser, less palatable themes: vivid imagery juxtaposed against ironic detachment belies a preoccupation with death and indecision.
