Dec 12, 2016While comparisons and familiar tones abound, they shouldn't detract from what Troy and Edwards excel at delivering. They mostly serve as touchstones to lock Deap Vally into the ranks of similar artists as genuinely concerned with rocking listeners into sweet submission.
-
Sep 15, 2016In terms of melody, Femejism is a more outwardly pop-leaning record than their debut, but the duo are still as heavy as Black Sabbath when they want to be.
-
Sep 9, 2016If ‘Sistrionix’ was Deap Vally as a brooding teenager, Femejism is the more grown up and wiser young adult. Strong and independent, it has just realised that it doesn’t need to impress you, regardless of the immaculate construction that can’t help but bowl you over.
-
Sep 29, 2016Produced by Deap Vally and Yeah Yeah Yeah’s guitarist Nick Zinner, Femjism drags the band forward into a brave new future while keeping their mean, sexy, muscle-bound rock’n’roll snarl fully intact. A real blazer.
-
Sep 9, 2016Femejism may not have quite the same impact [as their debut Sistronix], but their second album has enough to it to suggest that Lindsey Troy and Julie Edwards will be able to maintain interest our vested interest.
-
Sep 14, 2016Femejism is a powerhouse album that exudes defiant independence without succumbing to tropes, but there are moments where it falters--the overly abrasive yelling on "Little Baby Beauty Queen" comes to mind.
-
Sep 9, 2016There is probably a message buried somewhere within Femejism, but unfortunately it just comes across as lacklustre and contrived.
