Wildcard (week 31):
Tape Toy – Sad Girl

Two years ago, Roos van Tuil (vocals, guitar), Wesley Fransen (guitar, vocals), Maurice van de Graaf (bass) and Marc van Dongen (drums) were put together by their teacher at the Amsterdam school of music. The assignment: โ€œJust show us what youโ€™ve got.โ€ Well, they did.

The quartet clicked and the school project turned into a real band, with quite a bunch of catchy, up-beat songs in their bag. All of them guitar-driven, with great synth melodies and smart lyrics. Tape Toy call their music โ€˜bubble-grungeโ€™. Within a year after forming, the band amassed an agenda full of festival gigs, and recently supported Skunk Anansie.

Sad Girl is the bandโ€™s most recent single. It was released alongside new track 020, which is the area code of their hometown Amsterdam. Following the funky opening riff, dreamy verses alternate with energetic choruses. Near the end, trippy synths build up to the โ€˜grande finaleโ€™, where the huge singalong chorus shines one more time.

This whole week, Sad Girl by Tape Toy will shine at the top of the Carte Blanche Music blog as the new Wildcard!

In the Wildcards 2019 playlist you can find all of this yearโ€™s Carte Blanche Music Wildcards so far.
