La Roux

VINYL FORMAT. The US debut from British electropop duo La Roux. "Owing much to the sonic wizardry of co-writer Ben Langmaid, La Roux is a perfect blend of razor-sharp pop hooks and lush 80s electronica that pitches itself firmly in the same synth-laden territories as The Human League and The Pet Shops Boys but infuses it with a jolt of modern day electricity. With tepid R'n'B and faux hip-hop eschewed in favor of sparkling melodies and ruthlessly catchy choruses that will lodge themselves in your brain for months upon end, it's one of the most polished and well-rounded pure pop albums to be produced for absolutely aeons." - The Quietus
