Gritty guitar riffs colliding with sharp, deadpan rap. It is the sound of a basement punk show crashing into a modern hip-hop studio. High energy for restless nights.
Formed in Los Angeles in 2018, Paris Texas is an alternative hip-hop duo consisting of rapper-producers Louie Pastel and Felix. Named after Wim Wenders’ 1984 film, the group functions as an independent act, self-releasing music through their own label with distribution from The Orchard. Their eclectic sound blends rap and hip-hop with diverse influences like grunge, punk, and metal, drawing critical comparisons to artists such as OutKast and King Krule.
