La Femme: Psycho Tropical Berlin Die Version auf Vinyl 2LP in Standard- Auflage. Diese besondere Auflage wurde veröffentlicht in Frankreich im Verlag Born Bad Records am 2. Juli 2013.

La Femme aus Paris sind eine der im Moment angesagtesten französischen Bands.

Auf ihrem Albumdebüt formen sie leichtfüßig Psychedelic, Rockabilly, Electro, Punk, Indie Pop und LoFi-Surf-Sixties-Sounds zu etwas Einzigartigem, das unmittelbar in die Beine geht. Ihr Crossover zwischen French Cold Wave und stereolabesquem Indiepop ist ein Schmelztiegel hypnotischer Stimmungen. Da ein Mega-Minimal Wave-Hit, dort eine tropisch wirkende Psychedelic Nummer, dann wieder Postpunk und zum abrunden noch etwas Nouvelle Vague-Sound.

La Femme beeindrucken auf der Bühne mit Synthesizern, gedrängten Tempi, binären Grooves, Pailletten, Spleens und lockerer Coolness. Unbedingt live erleben!

Product Information

La femme is a conundrum. A resounding expression. An episodic band with various faces. La Femme shows up and it's all of her grimy spleen that stains the city's grey pavement, in a synthetic rain beamed by livid burstings. La femme was born during the X years in Biarritz, when Sasha and Marlon started composing on their guitars music they recorded on Garage Band. Together they ride surfboards, pianos and synthetiseur as they gave a try to various styles, from 60s yZyZ French pop to Californian surf music. Marlon moved to Paris, and there he met Sam, who played bass. Together they formed SOS Mademoiselle along with Olivier Peynot, and played vintage French rock, as Sasha was practising his scales in reverb feed surf band Ç Les redoutables! E After getting his grade, Sasha joined his friends in Paris, where they discovered French cold wave and synth pop, Marie & Les Garcons being one of their favourite. They polished a style that could be described as one of these following : Surf wave, Bizarre wave, strange wave, weird witch wave, silly mental wave or Psycho tropical Berlin E. In fact anything you want as long as it ends with Ç wave E. And the boys created La Femme. La Femme has no frontier, neither in her style nor in her voice. She's always on a quest for new sounds, images and sensations. Joined in 2010 by drummer NoZ and female singer ClZmence, La femme formed its first live roster in few days after French rider and artist Pandora Decoster asks them to play on stage for a big surf contest in Biarritz. From her hazy and changing background, La femme takes shape and release that same year its first anthem Ç Sur la Planche E, a song that was made to be hummed and whistled while ridding a board. La femme uncovers, boys, girls, plenty of option, a bit of mystery, loads of energy. Later she released her second EP, Paris 2012. In the music video she produced for this song, she blows down the effeil tower as a symbol, it's time to go ans see something else. After swilling Paris bars, La femme goes for a tour in USA, en mode journey, and come back in France with improved reputation where they play for various festival. Soon joined by fancy rhythm drummer Nunez Ritter Von Merguez aka Ç La Sauterelle E and gorgeous singer Clara Luciani, La femme takes for a ride around Europe : from beyond the grave to Berlin, by London, Bruxelles and Roubaix. Cryptic and Mysterious, La femme is in perpetual motion and the band, based around full time and up-to-date boys (Sasha, Marlon, Sam), invites over the course of its wish and needs in studio a whole cast of female singer : ClZmence, Clara, Marilu, JeanneÉ Sooner this year, La femme released a self titled EP, that went by along with a 11 minutes long psychedelic music video, an epic and baroque short film for tracks Ç La femme, Hypsoline E, preceding the release of her first album in April : Ç Psycho Tropical Berlin E: It's the story of a couple who slipped chaos and survives by watching each other. Le Danger est partout - Peril is all around as written in the booklet. Rock and pop, rococo bahaus, fed from multiples influences (Krafwerk, Elli & Jacno) La Femme just want to please you. Generous and welcoming, she stretches you her white hand in the dark, if you grasp it, it could be the shiver of you life.
