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.
La Roux – In For the Kill (The Twelves remix)
La Roux – Quicksand
La Roux – Bulletproof (Foamo Dubstep remix)
I call your Kavinsky and raise you a La Roux!

I’m in synth-pop state of mind this week, I spent last weekend listening to a gloriously queer combination of Depeche Mode, the Twins and some of the contemporary cats that try so hard to emulate the previous two groups glorious sounds.

.
Cats with names like Anoraak, College, and Futurecop! who spent all their time and money collecting keytars and tracking down music equipment from the era where synthesizers cost $20,000 and had less memory than a pocket calculator.

I will warn you, this mix will make a warm happy glow wash over your belly and nether regions, so wear a diaper before you step on the dance floor…
