Tahiti 80 - Rejoice (An Inventory of Pop Maps) Tahiti 80

Rejoice is surely the album Tahiti 80 always wanted to make: free from all constraints, driven by curiosity. A collection of independent songs that speak to each other without sounding alike, yet form a cohesive whole, somewhere between the freedom of The White Album and the eclecticism of a Soul Jazz compilation.

Tahiti 80 was formed in Rouen in the mid-1990s. Taking its name from a souvenir T-shirt, the band – an iconic figure in French indie pop – made a lasting impression right from the start. Their debut album, Puzzle (1999), which went gold, opened the doors to the international stage for them – from legendary festivals such as Reading Festival, Fuji Rock Festival and SXSW to the tours that cemented their reputation.

With elegant melodies and bold grooves blending pop, electro and rock, Tahiti 80 have created a unique and instantly recognisable musical world. Nearly thirty years after their debut, the Rouen-based band are preparing their eleventh album, Rejoice (An Inventory of Pop Maps), due for release in September 2026. A new sonic adventure, where powerful songs and unprecedented musical explorations intertwine, reflecting their eternal desire to reinvent themselves — without ever betraying the essence that defines them.
