Videoclub
Videoclub (stylized as VIDEOCLUB) was a French musical project formed in Nantes, France, in 2018 by Adèle Castillon and Matthieu Reynaud. They became popular for the song "Amour plastique", and "Roi" released in September 2018 as the first two songs from the Euphories album.
Before Videoclub, Castillon was an actress with her own YouTube channel while Reynaud learned to produce music with his father, a musician.
The group's musical style is heavily influenced by music during the 1980s but draws inspiration from contemporary music as well. Musical artists Odezenne, Superbus, Fauve, Vendredi sur Mer, Dinos, Mac DeMarco, Tame Impala, and Chromatics have been cited as sources of inspiration for the group's music; in particular, Reynaud's guitar riffs were influenced by 1980s groups such as the Cure, New Order, and Pixies. The duo have also taken inspiration from Jacques Demy films for their lyrics.
Videoclub released seven singles, a collaboration, and a studio album, Euphories.
On 31 March 2021, the duo announced their disbandment after Reynaud left the band following the deterioration of their relationship. The duo released their final single, "SMS", and Castillon toured under the Videoclub name as a solo act before disbanding.
