The band's music has been described as synthetic and hypnotic. It mixes elements of cold wave, punk, and yéyé, with musical influence from artists such as Sparks, The Velvet Underground, and Kraftwerk.[2]

Their debut full-length, Psycho Tropical Berlin, was released on April 8, 2013.[3] La Femme earned the French award Victoires de la Musique in the category "Album revelation" in February 2014.[4] On April 2, 2021, the group released their third album, Paradigmes, featuring several previously released tracks.
