This French group sound like a bunch of mad scientists. I could imagine that they’ve got a few Elephant 6 records, some Swirlies and Lilys to go along with their MBV. “Funtastic” is exactly that, innocent sounding buzzing pop ditties and the sound of band having a blast. Tapeworms is a band formed in the city of Lille, France, featuring the trio of Margot Magnières and two brothers, Théo and Elliot Poyer.

They’re preparing the release of their debut album “Funtastic”, which will be released on September 25th. “Safety Crash” is the lead single from the album, a track that combines the artful dream pop of bands like Stereolab, with a thrashing garage rock influence, melding both of these worlds into a sound that is something unique within itself.

In collaboration with Howlin Banana Records, Coypu Records and Testcards Records

Forget the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, fondues, soufflés, and bonbons. If you’re planning to go to France, go for its burgeoning music scene, particularly in the psychedelic spheres. One band at the forefront of the country’s musical renaissance is Bootchy Temple, who in the autumn released their new album, Glimpses, is on Howlin’ Banana Records.

They are the descendants of fellow French psych-rock duo The Limiñanas with splashes of Wooden Shjips and The Brian Jonestown Massacre. In other words, they are crafting songs that are immensely hazy and delirious, such as on “Lady Sunshine” and “Nail’s Ward”.  Martinez, Paul, Sam, Luc, Lucas, and Greg are also heavily influenced by The Doors, where they can make psychedelic sound like a romantic breeze, as revealed on “The Man With The Cane”. Pretty soon, they won’t be imitating anyone, but rather others will be trying to replicate their groovy and trippy sound.
