"The Femcels' music is euphoric and depressive, sometimes ironic but mostly sincere, often high-tempo, and all delivered with wired, unvarnished vocals. Their debut album touches on catastrophic body image, coding, clout and boys who are more interested in their phones than other human beings."
"Aesthetically, the Femcels draw largely from 2000s and early 2010s electroclash and indie-pop; the sound of I Have to Get Hotter is a fizzy, ahistorical genre-mash that draws liberally from CSS, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, Vampire Weekend, Grouplove and a whole host of other bands."
"The sheer excitement that radiates from the Femcels' music makes it easy to let their exploration of bad taste go without question; I Have to Get Hotter is freaky and sharply observed, a perfectly unholy mix for a time like this."
The Femcels' debut album, I Have to Get Hotter, combines euphoric and depressive sounds with unvarnished vocals. Their music reflects the complexities of young womanhood in 2020s London, drawing inspiration from 80s and 90s twee. The album addresses themes such as body image, social media, and relationships, often with dark humor. Musically, it blends elements from 2000s electroclash and indie-pop, featuring a genre-mash sound. The excitement in their music allows for a candid exploration of contemporary issues, making it a relevant and engaging listen.
