The Femcels is an English electronic pop duo formed in London by musicians Rowan Miles and Gabriella Turton in February 2024. Their debut album I Have to Get Hotter was released on January 24, 2026.
Career
[edit]Rowan Miles (also known as Rowan Please[1]) was born in Brighton,[2] while Gabriella Turton was born in the West Country.[2] The pair initially met on Instagram, though Turton later invited Miles to a sleepover in 2023.[3][4] The pair formed a band on February 24, 2024, after going into a studio session with just the name "the Femcels".[3] Turton had previously been styling Maria Manow of the electronic music duo Bassvictim, which led to the pair consulting Ike Clateman to produce them.[3] The duo have cited the GTOs, the Beach Boys, the Beatles, the Roches, Leonard Cohen, Elvis Presley and Beat Happening as influences.[2][3]
British magazine The Face described the pair's debut single "He Needs Me" as "a bouncy, chiptune-flavoured update of The Shining actor Shelley Duvall's cult 1980 cut".[2] The publication described Turton as a "coder-by-day" and Miles as having a fascination for the 1960s.[2] Pitchfork noted the group as a "Teenagers-esque pop duo".[1] While Miles was credited as "part of the '00s-fetishizing London scene that tangentially includes fakemink and Bassvictim."[1]
On July 8, 2025, Rowan Miles released her debut collaborative album The Velvet Underground & Rowan with Worldpeace DMT.[1]
On February 4, 2026, Pitchfork reviewed their debut album I Have to Get Hotter released on January 24, 2026, rating it a 7.6 and stating "LARP or not, the Femcels have a lesson for sadsack bedrotters everywhere—find a friend, hire a cracked Clateman, and start turning your cliché insecurities into corny-giddy art."[5]
