The cover art features a couple embracing in a hug, but the moment feels both fleeting and visually striking. Nostalgia is an important factor of the album’s themes and visual style. In finding its artistic identity, it reinforces itself by its talent and musical choices.
#COVER ALBUM FLOW COLORS PROFESSIONAL#
Especially in indie music, a common staple is creating songs that are either self-produced and maintain creative integrity or having a more professional sound that can feel watered down.īut throughout "French Exit" and the band's entire discography, there's a balance of these two extremes in a very rare way, and that causes all of the band's songs to feel uniquely theirs. Its production style feels professional, but their music's most important element is how it lacks a commercially pop sound.
The band consistently sampled melodies and clips from 1960s music and television in its songs, and it uses the sample to create its own unique and modern twist. While most independent artists write primarily using guitar and other synthesized instruments, TV Girl’s use of samples makes "French Exit" inherently inspired by hip-hop. The album also helped set a consistent standard for its future releases and is one of the most focused indie-pop albums of the past decade. While the band's not as universally popular as defining artists of the genre like Mac DeMarco, its 2014 album " French Exit" helped pave the way for other artists in its field to experiment with song structure and production choices. Since its formation in 2010, American indie-pop band TV Girl occupies a fascinating sector of the indie music scene.
