French modern psych band La Femme is switching things up for their sixth album, “Rock Machine”: it’s the first one they’ve recorded in English. It’s also a bit of a departure in terms of genre; though it’s rooted in synth overall, the album explores many different corners of the rock genre. Less “cohesive album” and more “weird sonic journey that we’re absolutely here for,” “Rock Machine” is a singular album from a band that has consistently defined categorization.
On their first album totally written in English, French electronic pop band La Femme accompany the romantic lyrics with a wider, complimentary set of influences. This, their sixth album, balances the synth-heavy, elegant new wave of their debut with an ecstatic mix of disco, British punk, and surf rock.
