For the #zot2016 review, today I suggest an easy-going album.
La Femme - Mystère (Born Bad Records).
The second LP of the French group after their debut in 2013 'Psycho Tropical Berlin'. The album essentially follows the same patterns as the debut and confirms the great pop potential of this group, which indeed seems destined to potentially become a more prominent reality in the independent scene. Their innate taste for melody combines with suggestive and cinematic fascinations, echoing at times the heritage of French chanson and even Ennio Morricone in the arrangements. The group presents itself as an ensemble of psychedelic music, and there is indeed a component of that type in the dreamy atmospheres of the songs in 'Mystère,' where it blends with yéyé and everything vintage from the sixties in particular. The rest are references here and there to Spacemen 3 situations and even Radiohead, or a devotion to a certain wave. Ultimately, a highly listenable album. Is this its limitation?
La Femme - Où va le monde
