Paris Texas are true chaos. The wildly inventive duo from Los Angeles blend various strains of rap and rock music into a fusion of pure energy and irresistible urgency. In doing so they’ve exploded out of nowhere with one of the most unpredictable albums of the year. Whether filtered through songs like the serrated ‘ahead’ or the pulsing playful ‘trying to kill me’, their commitment to whatever feels nakedly true in a given instant makes members Louie Pastel and Felix unmissable voices in music today, and essential translators of the end times. Drawing inspiration from LA’s famed hip-hop collective Odd Future, Paris Texas is for fans of Brockhampton, Kenny Mason and King Krule – but ultimately, they’re tearing up the book and making their own rules. It’s no wonder that Tyler the Creator is one of their biggest fans. At Laneway Festival 2024, you’ll get to witness them unleash everything that got them here – the impulse, the masterplan, the groove and the cacophony. It’s going to be mental.
