← Back | Musician | 2 Music Videos
La Femme, a psychedelic pop band from Paris, has captivated the music industry with its intoxicating blend of genres and visuals. Their members, Sacha Got and Marlon Magnée, are prime examples of artists who aren't confined by traditional norms. Known for their eclectic fusion of cold wave, punk, yéyé, and surf music, they burst onto the scene with their 2013 debut album 'Psycho Tropical Berlin.' Fittingly, their music videos, much like their sound, are an enigmatic mishmash of retro and contemporary influences.
Take, for instance, the video for their single "Sur La Planche." It presents a paradoxical combination of lurid neon lights, kinetic skateboarding shots, and sun-bleached beach scenes, making for a visual feast that's hard to forget. Another standout video is "It's Time to Wake Up," which transports you to an imaginary alien disco where even unsavory reptilian creatures can't resist the band's beguiling beats. And who could ignore the body horror extravaganza that is "Où va le monde," complete with writhing dancers, grotesque make-up, and costume design that could only be described as eerily avant-garde.
Here's a nugget of trivia – Sacha and Marlon met at school in Biarritz, a sunny seaside town with a vibrant surfing culture. But instead of spending their days riding the waves, they would hide in the basement to play music, foreshadowing the wildly unique band they were to become. It took years of underground performances and experimenting with a slew of French musicians before La Femme's hypnotically strange sounds found a global stage. And find it they did - in a world where polished predictability often reigns supreme, La Femme remains an unusual triumph.
