Inspired by our “Hot Air Balloon” song, one of our FFC chorus girls decided to spend a few months training at the British School of Ballooning. We fully support her decision to leave the dolls chorus for a career in ballooning and wish her all the best in her future endeavours.

We blushed a little bit when we heard this.
“A new French For Cartridge album is always a real cause for celebration. They are one of the most creative and adventurous acts that this country has produced in the last few years and yet they still have that pop sensibility and lightness of touch, which means that their experimentation is fun, quirky and engaging. ‘We Humans’ is quintessentially French For Cartridge.”

Thank you to the listeners of Art School Dancing in Edinburgh, who voted us and our “We Humans” to no. 12 in their 2013 Top 100!!
You can also find us on the Best of The Joyzine Radio Show, which is a free download album that features a version of “Spiders” recorded for this excellent show last Autumn.
This is what they say about the album:
“French For Cartridge’s second album ‘We Humans’ surfed the dividing line between experimental and enjoyable as expertly as any that we heard in 2013.”
Well, thank you!

We’re in the top half of Rocksucker’s 100 best albums of 2013!
“Ridiculously eccentric, and jolly lovely with it. It’s rare for something to be quaint and berserk at the same time, but this succeeds valiantly. This is completely off its rocker and we bloody loves it for it.”

2013 was a great French For Cartridge year!
We finished and released a new album called “We Humans”, which both sounds and looks beautiful. There was a wonderful fun fayre in a medieval church tower to celebrate its release, there were library tours and beach performances, a Rough Trade instore and a cooking show as well as fantastic videos for each song made by some very talented friends.
A few weeks ago we also released a digital EP to round things off featuring a few remixes and one new song called “Frequency 349”, the first thing we’ve recorded since the album.
Listen to the new song and watch all the videos below here.
None of this would have been possible without some truly wonderful people.
