La Femmeâ??s music was used for three major worldwide TV synchs: Apple, Renault and Sonos. â??Mystèreâ??, which features 8 different female vocalists, is a compendium of short stories describing loves and losses and each song breaks down language barriers through an inventive astute knack for melody.
Retro-futurist surf-Pop with a dose of glamorous Punk stomp influenced by Ennio Morricone, Marie Et Les Garconâ??s Disco-Rock touch and the lysergic romanticism of The Velvet Underground. Also incorporated in â??Mystèreâ?? is a new range of oriental sounds, Turkish Disco, Tuareg Blues, medieval Psychedelia to mainstays Brian Eno and Pink Floyd.
Listen to â??Septembreâ?? [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbWRhJt4zuc). - French pop connoisseurs La Femme present Mystère. La Femme have made a huge mark on modern Paris's cultural landscape, with the two sides of the city - the glamour and the grit - ingrained in their music. Since the release of their debut album, Psycho Tropical Berlin (BORNBAD 051LP, 2013), their rise has only gained momentum with fans including directors Jacques Audiard and Romain Gavras to legends Jean Michel Jarre and Hedi Slimane. Returning with a more psychedelic sound and guest vocalists that slice through the starkest of electro beats, Mystère sees La Femme celebrating their wonderful city. From the chattering tête-à-tête heard on "Conversations Nocturnes" to the throbbing disco beat of "SSD", a direct reference to the pulsing nightlife hotspot and multi-cultural district Strasbourg Saint Denis where the band is based. Mystère's true intrigue however, lies in La Femme's enigmatic questioning of falling in and out of love. A compendium of short stories describing loves and losses, each song breaks down language barriers through an inventive and astute knack for melody. The elation of a passionate encounter is captured on the ricocheting electronics of "Tatiana", the melancholic acoustic guitar echoes in "Le Vide Est Ton Nouveau Prenom" and the sorrow of a war-torn couple in "Psyzook". Whether delicate or drenched in dirty disco, the impact of Clémence, Marlon and Sacha's gothic mantras mixed with the guest vocal talent of Clara Luciani, Jane Peynot, Naomi Greene, Mathilde Marlière, Angela Hureau, Battista Acquaviva and Sarah Ben Abdallah is perhaps where La Femme's true meaning can be found. Sacha on his band's all-inclusive philosophy: "We don't like the idea of having a leader or a chief: everyone brings to the band what they can and want." Recorded between a castle in Brittany and a Paris basement before being finished up with Sonny Diperri (Animal Collective) in LA, Mystère once again sees backgrounds blurred and worlds collide. The band's chic retro-futurist surf-pop sound possesses the same dose of glamorous punk stomp as before, but this time around it's layered with an elegant fusion of influences from Ennio Morricone, Marie Et Les Garcons's disco-rock touch and the lysergic romanticism of The Velvet Underground. Through increased use of strings and further exploration of sound, Mystère also incorporates the band's new love of oriental sounds, Turkish disco, Tuareg blues, medieval psychedelia to mainstays Brian Eno and Pink Floyd.Different from [r=8958441] with three concentric pressing rings around the spindle hole on label, see [l56025] Profil

Dedicated to Pierre Dubourdieu."Mystère" on LP by Femme, La is an adventurous, retrofuturistic French pop album that blends yé-yé flair with new wave sharpness and modern indie sophistication. Built around hypnotic basslines, analog synth textures, surf-tinged guitars and catchy, often surreal melodies, the record balances playful lightness with a slightly mysterious, cinematic atmosphere. Throughout the LP, Femme, La cultivates a distinct aesthetic: airy, multi-layered vocals, driving rhythms suitable for both attentive listening and the dance floor, and a strong sense of visual, almost soundtrack-like storytelling. This makes "Mystère" an ideal pick for listeners who appreciate stylish, left-field pop that still delivers immediate hooks. The LP format enhances the flow of the track sequence, inviting you to experience the album as a cohesive journey rather than a mere collection of songs.
Femme, La has built a solid reputation within the contemporary French pop and indie scene through a combination of striking visuals, charismatic performances and clever songwriting that nods to the 60s while sounding resolutely modern. The project has attracted attention well beyond France's borders via festivals, club shows and word-of-mouth among crate-diggers who seek fresh takes on French pop tradition. Known for collaborations with like-minded artists on the alternative scene and for a refined studio production approach, Femme, La has become a reference name for fans of sophisticated, dance-friendly French pop. "Mystère" continues this trajectory, underlining the act's ability to create songs that are both stylish and accessible.
The LP is released by Born Bad / Cargo, a partnership that stands for quality underground and alternative releases. Born Bad has earned recognition as a key label for forward-thinking rock, pop and experimental music from France, carefully curating artists who push stylistic boundaries while remaining highly listenable. Via distribution partner Cargo, the label's catalog reaches an international audience of collectors, DJs and adventurous listeners. Their focus on strong visual identities, high-quality pressings and a coherent artistic vision has made Born Bad / Cargo an essential source for those looking to discover distinctive, non-mainstream sounds on vinyl. "Mystère" fits perfectly into this catalog, representing the kind of inventive yet approachable artistry the label is known for. | | | Manufacturer No.: |
