Under the Pavement, There is a Beach is the debut EP of indie-rock band Paper Tigers. Rachel Seeger writes:
With Under the Pavement, There is a Beach, Paper Tigers establish an introduction to their world, bringing together music, poetry, visual art, and an enduring belief in the importance of creative freedom.
The EP introduces a band whose music and creative vision explore authenticity, expression, and the possibility of finding beauty and hope beneath the structures of everyday life.
The EP takes its name from the Situationist International slogan “Sous les pavés, la plage!” (“Under the paving stones, the beach!”), which emerged during the May 1968 student and worker uprisings in Paris. The phrase became a symbol of resistance against the constraints imposed by society and the bourgeoisie, suggesting that beneath the systems that attempt to contain us, there remains a space for freedom, authenticity, and creative expression.
More than a historical reference, the phrase continues to resonate in the present. For Paper Tigers, it serves as a reminder that even beneath the weight of the world as it exists, there is still something worth uncovering. There is still room for imagination, connection, and hope on the other side.
