Tapewormswas formed in Lille, north of France, by Margot Magnières and two brothers, Théo and Elliot Poyer. After having released a couple of home-recorded EPs, the trio settled in the youth cultural center of their hometown during the summer of 2018, to start writing what would become their debut album,Funtastic. A welcome return to their roots, which gave them the confidence they needed to steer away from the usual bass, guitar & drums formula, and extend their influences in unusual directions, such as J-Pop or video game soundtracks.
The album turns noisy pop songs into electronic music, and brings rock songs into experimental playgrounds, slowing down the pace when needed with beautiful synth-pop lullabies.With this album, Tapeworms convey forgotten self-promises, and bet on a brighter future.
