Being TV Girl’s first album, French Exit is a very impressive work of musical art. At this point in time, I have been listening to TV Girl for around 4 years, but I wish I had found them sooner as they are most likely my favorite band — easily in the top 3. They stand out largely because their music is so unique for so many reasons. Their vocals, use of sampling sounds, the vibes the songs give off, and how every song tells a story that can be relatable to so many people in so many ways also makes them very appealing to people depending on their emotions and what is going on in their life. When driving I love to cue up the about dozen TV Girl songs I listen to religiously as I love the kind of music they create. By going through this album, I have had to make some additions to that list, and will start to listen to whole albums so I’m not missing anything as it truly surprised me that I had never heard of some of these songs before. While this album isn’t perfect, I believe that, Louise, The Blonde, Birds Dont Sing, and Lovers rock are perfect or near perfect songs. While not every song is as good as those 4 are, I do believe that most of the songs are decent being pretty close to 7/10. Some of the songs simply aren’t that good, but they are the exception to the album. By averaging individual song ratings, the album would get an 8/10. However, that doesn’t capture how hard it is to have such perfect songs and that it gets exponentially harder to make better songs, as well as how enjoyable the whole album is. If I take everything into account, I would rate French Exit a 9.3/10. It is truly one of my favorites and I can’t recommend it enough.

I like this album so much that I love it. I share a lot of history with this album, I’ve religiously played tracks from this album over the last 3-4 years without knowing how good the full album was, so I played all of it. I think this album is almost perfect, it is absolute art and I think it is SOME of tv girl’s best work. Although there are a few songs in there that don’t appeal to me quite as much which doesn’t make it a 10/10.
