On their first fully english album, the group went with a New Order-esque new wave and synth rock album that opts on the side of simplicity, oftentimes to a fault. The angle was likely some catchy dance floor club rock songs, but the result was forcing myself to enjoy a majority of the tracks. Don't get me wrong, all is not lost here. The first half is very fun from "Clover Paradise" through "Love Is Over" until you get the sense that this is all you're going to be getting for the rest of the album. La Femme was always nuanced with it's sonic exploration, but this time things don't seem to be fully clicking as they try to penetrate more of an english-speaking audience. It pains me that Telegraphe wasn't on the record, because that's one of my favorite songs by La Femme.
