_La Femme – “Sur La Planche”

A couple days ago I discovered a new gem in my inbox, and they’re a band called La Femme. I don’t know anything about them yet, but what I do know of the French lo-fi surfer band is that they have already captured my attention from their only song that has been released, “Sur La Planche” (which translates to ‘on a (surf) board’, thanks to my 12 years of French classes).

You might not understand what they’re singing, but what you will figure out is that it’s pretty catchy. The first thing that they remind me of is The Drums – and when I first discovered them I knew they were going to be big. Even their debut singles are about the same thing – surfing. I know that The Drums can’t surf, but I wonder if La Femme can. Listen to it and let me know what you think.

“On a surf board / on the beach, on the wave, I’m searching for sensations / on a surfboard, in the tubes, I’m searching for sensations / you better not try and stop me from riding that wave, I’m invincible / if you dare push me in the tube, I will be waiting for you on the beach, on the wave”
