TICKLES - "Sugar & Plastic Plates" - OUT NOW
The debut album from Nantes noise-rock quartet TICKLES is here.
PRESS PRAISE: "Album of the Week" — Tinnitist "Ferocious and fearless" — Rebel Noise "A noise-punk fever dream" — Fame Magazine "Very current, very of this moment" — Organ Thing "7.5/10" — Snap Happy
The title "Sugar & Plastic Plates" and the cover artwork capture those bittersweet birthday moments - joy mixed with the quiet ache of fading connections and creeping loneliness.
After two crushing EPs, French noise punk outfit TICKLES finally unleash their first full-length assault. Still wielding the raw intensity that made their name, the quartet have dug deeper into the muck to deliver their darkest, most furious statement yet.
Across nine unrelenting tracks, they tear into isolation, abandonment and childhood scars with unflinching honesty. This is visceral, uncompromising stuff that won't leave you unchanged.
The band locked in with producer Chris Hoggomat, having spent months honing these nine tracks to razor sharpness. That connection gave them freedom to experiment - diving into noise textures, oddball sounds, even techno-inspired elements - pushing each song to breaking point while keeping its brutal core intact.
Joris Saidani (Birds in Row) brought his mixing precision to the chaos, making bold creative choices that revealed the full devastating potential of each track. The result captures both TICKLES' unhinged power and the careful craft beneath the mayhem.
