French art-pop trio Tapeworms return with ‘Playground’, the first single from their upcoming album ‘Grand Voyage’, out April 11 via Music Website and P-Vine.

Drawing inspiration from the bright energy of French Touch, early 2000s bitpop, and the glitch experiments of Tujiko Noriko and OliXL, the track takes the band into new, carefree sonic territory. ‘Playground’ layers over-the-top MIDI drums, bitcrushed synths, and SEGA-inspired sound effects into a vibrant, nostalgic soundscape.

Be sure to give the DIY music video below a watch as well which is recorded on mini-DV and sees the band members explore local playgrounds in Tokyo.

‘Playground‘ is out now on all platforms. ‘Grand Voyage’ arrives April 11 via Music Website and P-Vine.
