After having released a couple of home-recorded EPs, which quickly established them as one of the most exciting newcomers in the French Shoegaze scene, 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, <i>Funtastic</i>. The atmosphere of the place provided a perfect environment, full of vivid colours, gym mats and hoops.

A welcome return to their roots, which gave them the confidence they needed to steer away from the usual bass, guitar and drums formula, and extend their influences in unusual directions, such as J-Pop or video game soundtracks. The title of the album,<i> Funtastic</i>, symbolizes their search for new horizons. 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.
