La Femme - Psycho Tropical Berlin: La Femme is a self-proclaimed "smooth/lead/tropical/surf/coldwave band" with influences of punk from Paris, France. After them receiving a bit of buzz in the francophone world, I decided to check them out for myself. The album features a strong, up-beat, new wave sound with some nice psychedelic textures woven into the mix. The French-language female and male vocals give the album a more unusual twist as a lot of modern French musicians have switched to English. Later into the album, the prominent sound of the album started boring me as it seemed the band used the same structure for every song. During my listen I actually checked to see if one of the songs wasn't double because of how similar they sounded (songs sounding similar isn't necessarily a negative, unless they sound like exact clones) . I didn't hate the album, I just found that it's content wasn't entertaining enough to justify it's length. 5/10
