La Femme

The Parisian collective La Femme combines its French heritage with sounds from across the globe in surprising, appealing ways. On their early EPs and award-winning 2013 debut album Psycho Tropical Berlin, they delivered an ear-catching blend of krautrock, 60s surf, psych rock, coldwave, and classic French pop, and managed to expand their horizons even further on 2016's dark, ambitious Mystère. Despite – or perhaps because of – their singular style, La Femme scored top ten hits in their homeland, and remained as eclectic as ever on 2021's Paradigmes and the following year's Teatro Lucido, a love letter to Spanish and South American cities and musical styles. La Femme's latest record is 2023's Paris-Hawaï, which saw them incorporate Hawaiian music into their sound.
