Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs assisted Lindsey Troy and Julie Edwards in the production of this album, and that is exactly the reason why many of the tracks hark back to the early Fever to Tell days of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs such as the first two tracks, \u201cRoyal Jelly\u201d and \u201cJulian.\u201d Troy\u2019s vocals project in an oxymoronic \u201charmonious clashing\u201d of sorts on the entirety of the record, and while some listeners may grow tired of occasionally overdone garage-rock tracks, there is no denying the attitude of defiance Femejism is filled with.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most explosively rebellious tracks on the album, \u201cGonnawanna\u201d contains Troy switching back and forth between yelling her desire to do whatever she wants to and talking in further detail (as well as in expletives) of truly how free she is. It is tracks like \u201cGonnawanna\u201d that carry the message of the album through, not by being a great stand-alone track, but being the spider that has spun the web through which all the other tracks are masterfully, yet vigorously woven together. Full of heavy guitar riffs, bluesy and howling vocals, as well as a destruction of the patriarchy, Femejism is primal sound at its core.<br \/>\n<b><br \/>\nRecommended If You Like: Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Dead Weather, The White Stripes, The Black Keys<br \/>\nRecommended Tracks: 1, 2, 7, 8<br \/>\nDo Not Play: 3, 4, 5, 6<br \/>\nWritten by Andrew Chavez on 11\/03\/2016 <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This duo packs enough grit and tenacity on this album to make you dizzy if you aren\u2019t already from the head-banging you\u2019ll be doing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8069,"featured_media":52301,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[181],"tags":[5582,6131,6132],"class_list":["post-52300","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rock-rotation","tag-andrew-chavez","tag-deap-vally","tag-femejism"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Deap-Vally-Femejism-COOKCD643_web_opt.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52300","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8069"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52300"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52300\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52301"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52300"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52300"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52300"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
