Download link is in the original post Song: Ting Tings - Soul Killing [download here ] What's so good? So…this isn’t the Ting Tings I’m used to. In fact, “Soul Killing” is so far away from “Hands” (which we posted a year and a half ago here ) that I couldn’t have guessed they were the same band. Why’s that? Well, they’ve gone from electro-clash (a la Sleigh Bells) to some type of reggae. As PMA puts it, they basically sound like No Doubt. The song comes off the album Sounds from Nowheresville (courtesy of Columbia ...

Words: Saam Das Louisa Rose Allen first came into prominence via her Loui Rose persona, which made waves across the blogosphere during 2011. We'd been holding back posting about her but today, in her new guise as Foxes , she's signed a major label record deal with Sony. So I figure now's probably as good a time as any to talk about her synth-pop anthems. Foxes comprises Loui and guitarist/co-writer Sam Dixon , a set-up akin to the likes of La Roux and Daughter . Indeed, her past demos shared many a similarity to the latter with a heartfelt ...

Of the three individual rosters planned for April's rapidly sold-out Coachella double-header, the only one that could stand to shed an attraction or two is Saturday's (April 16 and 21). Those portions are so packed full of must-see names, I'm still...

“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 ...

It doesn’t stop does it? Everyone’s releasing albums this year with Crystal Castles adding to the pile toting an album for 2012. By everyone we’re talking about Bloc Party, La Roux, Breakbot, The Temper Trap, Sebastien Tellier and Hot Chip! In a recent print-only interview in NME with lead-lady Kath,...

La Roux, the original blog-siren is back with a ‘sexier’ album set for May. The fair-haired quiffster behind internet hits “Bulletproof” and “In For The Kill” will follow up her self-titled effort from way back in 2009. Elly Jackson says: “A lot of music that’s quite sexual is aggressive, but...

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

I'm not turned on by it, I'm terrified ...

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 [...]

After playing keyboard and programming live shows for the electro-pop duo La Roux, UK-based artist Mike Norris has shifted his attention to producing clean, glossy house as Fort Romeau and is set to release a … read more »
