Black Vinyls Repress Edition

Human Sounds are proud to be re-releasing Tahiti 80’s 2002 classic album Wallpaper for the Soul expanded with 8 bonus tracks. It comes on Marbled Vinyls and Printed Inner Sleeves.

« This is the pop album of 2003 which everyone else will have to beat »
— Uncut: 5 Stars

« Vive le pop »
— Mojo Magazine: 4 Stars

« An album for hot afternoons and pensive showery days, the perfect July-September soundtrack »
— The Guardian: 4 Stars

« A gorgeous, multifaceted jewel of acid-washed guitars, glittery horn flourishes, and frayed electronic texture »
— Pitchfork

After the worldwide success of their first album Puzzle (1999), which sold over 200,000 copies and went gold in Japan, Xavier Boyer (vocals, guitars), Pedro Resende (bass), Médéric Gontier (guitars) & Sylvain Marchand (drums) reunited with producer Andy Chase to record the follow-up, Wallpaper for the Soul, in New York City. Starting in November 2001 at Stratosphere Sound, the prolific sessions gave birth to twenty tracks, twelve of which appeared on the original tracklist. The eight outtakes were compiled on the mini albums A Piece of Sunshine (2003) & Extra Pieces of Sunshine (2004). This new vinyl edition will be the first time all these songs appear together.

Many musical fashions and flavors of the month have come and gone, but twenty years after its release, WFTS still sounds fresh and relevant. And always forward-looking, Tahiti 80 is currently wrapping up the recording of their eighth album, to be released in early 2022.
