We were recently reviewed in Auxiliary Magazine. Check it out the entire issue here: http://auxiliarymagazine.com/issue3/AuxiliaryMagazineApril09.pdf
reviewed by : Mike Kieffer
genre : electo-punk

Femme Fatality’s One’s Not Enough was released in the US back in May of ’08 and now it is getting the UK treatment this March. If you live in the UK, or you have been living in a cave, with only the albums by VNV Nation available to you, then you are about to be delighted with songs about devoted love, friendship, and unicorns that are so beautiful they will make you puke up kittens, well, maybe not. Femme Fatality is two brothers from St. Louis, Missouri, US, and they know how to party.

The album is full of themes regarding the debauchery of sex, drugs, liquor, and behavior that your mom would not be proud of. I wouldn’t say the lyrics are totally offensive, but they are definitely dirty, in a good way. The songs are fun and full of energy. Mix synth-pop and electro-punk style with rapping vocals and a variety of other vocal styles, all done with multiple, effected voice tracks that you would swear are from five different vocalists.

Each song jumps all over the place, changing tempo and even genres. Perhaps the most dramatic example of this is the track “Pretty Mess”, in which it starts out with an electro sound and by the end dives into hardcore. The toughest part about listening to this album is having the patience to get through each song. You know the next one rocks just as hard, and you can’t wait to hear it. Each song has its own uniqueness, and lengthens the replay value of the album.

Overall, this album is good but not perfect, and that is exactly what makes me happy. I’m already highly anticipating the next album because I know it can and will be better. Until then, I will continue to enjoy listening to this one.

Great review, I had to think twice when I read that bit about unicorns though. Thought maybe I didn't quite get one of the tracks >_< Congrats and hope your album is well received in the UK.
