"From punk to funk!" In this latest episode of the French-language Invisible Bordeaux Music podcast, we meet Martial who, with alongside colleague Babouche, runs the independent record shop Total Heaven.

He explains how running a record store has evolved in recent years, the secrets behind Total Heaven's longevity, and how the store fits into the landscape of Bordeaux's music scene. Martial also looks back on some memorable live showcase events and even reveals the story behind the famous and rather fabulous mural on the front of the store!

And... introducing the Spotify Invisible Bordeaux Music playlist, featuring tracks by the artists who have taken part in the Invisible Bordeaux Music podcast... alongside various songs mentioned in passing by the interviewees!

The French-language Invisible Bordeaux Music podcast is back! For this first episode of 2025, we welcome singer/guitarist Clément Pelofy and drummer Baptiste Sauvion, who, with Wanda on bass, make up Cosmopaark, the most excellent shoegaze dream pop trio.

On the agenda: everything you need to know about their new EP Backyard, what to expect at the release party on January 23 at Les Vivres de l'Art in Bordeaux, behind-the-scenes insight into the video for the track “Olive Tree”, how a track from their first EP has racked up 2 million listens on Spotify, a few scoops on Clément's effects pedalboard and Baptiste's pad sampler, and Cosmopaark's big goals for the coming twelve months! And it's all rather brilliant!
