French For Cartridge is a London-based band fronted by a male/female duo. Formed as an attempt to create atonal pop music whilst at Goldsmiths, the band has recently released their acclaimed second album ‘Liquorice’ on Dinner With Daisy Records. For this collection of genre defying, style bending art pop, the band worked with S. Husky Höskulds (Tom Waits, Fantomas, Meshell Ndegeocello), who has enveloped the songs in a suitably twisted aural landscape.

French For Cartridge has garnered support from Rob Da Bank/BBC Radio 1, Stuart Maconie/BBC 6music, Artrocker, The Wire, Organ and Resonance FM, with the first double A-sided single ‘Oooh!/Picture Negative’ being met with universal praise on numerous blogs and more established magazines alike.

Oh, and the name? The band takes its name from its side project (‘une cartouche’ – which is French for ‘cartridge’) which in turn took its name from what the band used to be called.



**** (Artrocker Magazine)

“Liquorice is an early contender for sleeper hit of the year, fusing together mischief and inventiveness. The album branches out beyond the usual constrained art pop boundaries, flying out of the common room and landing smack bang into the exhibit hall.” (God Is In The TV)

“Pretty damn progressive! In an arch sort of way.” (Byron Coley/The Wire)

“Like Mary Poppins on an acid trip.” (Artrocker.com)

“Still as different as ever, still as unique, still as good.” (Organ)

“London’s unusual French For Cartridge continue to mix up their genres as effectively as the Dulux Colours machine on the B&Q paint counter...Odd but infectious." (manchestermusic.co.uk)

"More originality than a Salvador Dali retrospective, a Terry Gilliam box set and a Yoko Ono happening." (Devil Has The Best Tuna)
