Synthpop can’t be stopped

June 18, 2009 · 1 Comment

La Roux,  The red haired one, the red headed girl with a wacky hairdo but whatever nicknames you’ve got for her it seems like she’s blowin’ up this year. My first encounter with La Roux was on the Kitsune Compilation 6 with the song “Quicksand” which quickly became one of my favorites from that album.  After continuously playing the Kitsune comp I moved onto bigger and better things and almost forgot about La Roux until I heard remixes from The Twelves, Lifelike, and Foamo. This prompted me to delve farther into the biography of La Roux and take a gander and some more of her singles.  Ladies and gents, it appears that she’ll be releasing her debut album on June 29th of this year!

I’ve added a couple links so you can get a taste of this yummy brit electropop.

I call your Kavinsky and raise you a La Roux!

Kitsune; that numbered cd or w/e

Two weeks after the release of the 6th Kitsune, I finally succumbed to listening to it. The past compilations usually have a few redeeming tracks to bring it a mediocre listening session but this recent released has caught my attention rather quickly with La Roux, Superheroes, along with Ted & Francis.  This mix makes me want to get up and dance instead of merely playing it through my headphones while I surf the web.  A quick rundown of the album is available here.

My fave thus far:

Ted & Francis – I Wish I Was a Polar Bear (Arctic Urgency edit)

Ahh, the greatness that surrounds his earnest echoing voice in your ears as he yearns to be a polar bear. Even though it’s a typical 80’s sounding synth, I dearly love the riff and melody that compliment the vocals. P.S. you can’t go wrong with an organ too, right?
