“A debut album that is every bit as nod-along appealing as the best pop to have emerged in time for the summer season” - BBC Music “Sans Souci is a continuous piece of music that ascends and descends with ease. Articulate, virtuoso and surprisingly entertaining!” - Clash Magazine “A hugely accomplished debut” - Kerrang Drawing upon the influence of Battles, Russian [...]

Drawing upon the influence of Battles, Russian Circles and Don Caballero, Brontide are a riff-heavy, intelligent instrumental-rock band that possesses an almost limitless scope. Featuring members from I Was A Cub Scout, La Roux and Pictures, Brontide explore and experiment beyond the boundaries of instrumental music with explosive effects. With dreamy melodies cast adrift by frenetic, technical drumbeats and big guitar loops, it's no wonder they have already gained a cult following.

Returning this year are familiar faces armed with a new collection of songs. Looking ahead, here are a selection of those to be most excited about. MAJOR LAZER “Now that people know what Major Lazer is we can skip a lot of the ground work,” beams the globe-trotting chameleonic don of dance Diplo, who makes up one-half of neo-dancehall outfit Major Lazer alongside fidget-house producer Switch. The dynamic duo dropped debut ‘Guns Don’t Kill People - Lazers Do’ in mid-2009, a storming collaborative frenzy that fused authentic Jamaican riddims with modern bass-heavy hip-hop. Its successor, the Philadelphian explains, is set ...

Je crois de plus en plus volontiers à la promesse de douceur de la succursale dance de Not Not Fun, 100% Silk, surtout quand j’observe la tranquillité avec laquelle Fort Romeau enchaîne les tubes Chicago-house sur l'EP Kingdoms à paraître en mars. Mille fois plus heureux de l'entendre de ce côté-ci des claviers plutôt qu'en back-up band de La Roux, on se sent tout aussi chanceux de le découvrir

The keyboard player from La Roux, as he'll probably forever be known, is venturing out on his own with a house-fueled debut EP "Kingdoms".

Sarah McIntosh could easily be lumped in with female-fronted electro-pop bands such as La Roux and Ladyhawke, but the sophisticated gothic sheen on pop melodies she offers with her band the Good Natured sets her apart. Slinking between Scandinavian-like bubblegum choruses to sensually dark undertones that echo Ladytron, McIntosh (along with her brother Hamish and [...]

I’m a sucker for blondes. Don’t ask me why, but I’m easily attracted to blondes. Some of my favorite actresses of all time are blondes: Meryl Streep, Scarlett Johansson, Carey Mulligan, Marilyn Monroe and Charlize Theron. There is some kind of quality they seem to possess over me and I can’t quite put my finger on it. Now I have a new blonde in my life. Irresistible. Intelligent. Imaginative. No, I’m not just writing adjectives that start with the letter “I” or describing a girl I’m dating, but the voice of an angel named ...

From KCRW DJ Eric J Lawrence: Anyone who knows me knows I’ve got a vicious sweet tooth. I keep an annual ranking of my favorite candy bars (the Milky Way Strictly Caramel held 2011’s #1 spot), and I consider myself somewhat of an expert in all things gummy. But my appreciation for sugary confections applies to music as well. I’m a sucker for a good bubblegum pop tune, whether from The Archies or La Roux. The latest tune to hit my sweet spot is “Heart Attack,” a new track from Danish pop ...
