Recently heavily featured in the annual 'New Faces of....(in this case 2009) lists'. It's La Roux. An electro pop dance band who site Goldfrapp and Eurythmics as the blue print. Namely a highly stylised front woman with a penchant for quirky clothes and extravagant dance moves masking a reclusive genius male producer. Both equally brilliant, co-existing in perfect pop harmony. Their first mainstream release is the strutting, slinky, sexual 'Quicksand'. With it's James Bond's opening credits go to Ibiza and meet Tilda Swinton-esque video featuring a giant Pineapple, i have them pined down as appealing to a cretain defined demographic. Whilst the song isn't immediately mainstream, it has fashion show and cult following written all over it. A supporting spot with Lily Allen won't do them any harm either.Monday, 19 January 2009
It's not Danny, but it's still a 'La Roux'
