The Plastiscines, a garage rock revival group composed entirely of French females, formed in 2004 around teenage friends Katty Besnard (guitar/vocals), Marine Neuilly (guitar), Louise Basilien (bass guitar), and Zazie Tavitian (drums). Taking their name from a line in <a href="spotify:artist:3WrFJ7ztbogyGnTHbHJFl2">the Beatles</a>' classic "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" ("plasticine porters with looking glass ties"), the girls began carving out a swaggering, guitar-heavy sound while citing <a href="spotify:artist:1SQRv42e4PjEYfPhS0Tk9E">the Kinks</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4F84IBURUo98rz4r61KF70">the White Stripes</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0epOFNiUfyON9EYx7Tpr6V">the Strokes</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4tpUmLEVLCGFr93o8hFFIB">Blondie</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:4fSPtBgFPZzygkY6MehwQ7">the Libertines</a> as influences. The Plastiscines were signed to EMI/Virgin France in 2006, and their major-label debut, LP1, arrived the following summer. For their next album, About Love, the group decamped to Los Angeles to work with producer <a href="spotify:artist:7qKoy46vPnmIxKCN6ewBG4">Butch Walker</a>. The resulting record was released in 2009 and, several months later, received a promotional boost when the band was heavily featured in an episode of Gossip Girl. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
