Our summer days are fading fast, but the carefree feeling of the season will extend deep into autumn and beyond thanks to “Resonate,” the breezy new indie-pop tune from French duo Papooz. Co-produced and mixed by Chairlift’s Patrick Wimberly (MGMT, Lil Yatchy) and co-written with Jesse Harris, “Resonate” squeals and swells with built-in laughter and innocent joy that embodies lazy mornings under the sun.
Of course, it also runs much deeper than that underneath the sugary surface.
“We had the title in mind for a while and we knew we wanted to explore the concept of resonance in music,” says the duo of Ulysse Cottin and Armand Penicaut. “As theorized by German philosopher and sociologist Hartmut Rosa, the physic concept of resonance or ‘the reinforcement or prolongation of sound by reflection of a surface or by the synchronous vibration of a neighboring object’ can be applied to philosophy as a tool against the madness of modern life. One only has to enter in resonance with the world to live at his own pace. Both lyrically and musically, we used this idea to describe at our best what was going on in our relationships within and outside our band.”
