Critical Reception
"Tokyo-via Lille, France trio Tapeworms make music that can only be accurately described as toygaze. Combining bit-crushed synths with dreamy sound walls and stilted yet tender vocals, they create a vibe akin to late-2010s Kero Kero Bonito. “Playground,” the first single from their newly announced album Grand Voyage, is a song about escaping the anxieties of everyday life for a little while. It has the desired effect." -FADER on "Playground"

About
Grand Voyage is Tapeworms' bold step into uncharted sonic territory. After their 2020 debut Funtastic and a string of singles, the French trio returns with an album that captures the surreal experience of their year in Japan—a world of airports, trains, and fleeting moments of beauty in the mundane. Born out of lockdown isolation, the album reflects the band’s exploration of new compositional methods, blending cheap samplers, FM synths, and Casio keyboards with heavily processed soundscapes.
Grand Voyage is a celebration of the in-between—between places, between memories, between who we were and who we’re becoming. Available to pre-order via NYC's Music Website and Japan's P-Vine.
