Femme - Debutante (2016)

Straight synthpop record and I honestly can't decide if it's worth keeping or not. It has a couple of really good tracks, then a bunch of stuff that's just mediocre. Are 3 good songs worth keeping an artist around? I'm not sure. The rest is not terrible, but definitely forgettable.

Beaty Heart - Mixed Blessings (2014)

I should hate this. It's a completely derivative rip-off of two artists I already don't like: Animal Collective and Vampire Weekend. It's a recipe for disaster and it's been widely panned because people who like this kind of music hate it, and people who hate this kind of music hate it. But for some reason, I actually kinda liked it. It's like they tossed out all the stuff from those bands that made me dislike them and kept only the good stuff. It's not amazing, but against all odds, it's not bad.
