Review: La Femme's Rock Machine marks a bold new chapter for the French neo-psych band, delivering their first full-length album in English. After exploring various sonic territories with Paradigmes and Teatro Lucido, the band, led by Marlon Magnee and Sacha Got, revisits their signature new wave and synth-driven style, blending it with influences from 80s and 90s Anglo rock. The album kicks off with the stylish, glam-infused single 'Clover Paradise', setting the tone for a project that seamlessly fuses genres like electro, surf rock, and disco, all wrapped in a punk spirit. From the synthwave of 'Sweet Babe' to the rebellious energy of 'My Generation', La Femme's sound is eclectic yet cohesive. Tracks like 'Venus' evoke a nostalgic mix of 60s psych-pop, while 'Love Is Over' channels the danceable grooves of the Madchester era. Throughout Rock Machine, the band's creativity shines as they confidently experiment with arena-sized rock styles and cinematic soundscapes. This album proves La Femme's ability to transcend language and genre, reinforcing their status as musical innovators.
