Glacial flavour-of-the-month pop duo La Roux have announced sideshows to her/their Parklife appearance later in the year.
I must admit, I dig the La Roux album. I like that it seems consisted of the same sounds and effects recycled in different ways. (Really). I like that it sounds like it was all made in Garageband. I like the cool tones of frontwoman Elly Jackson. And I like that it's a the dark side of pop. It's like there was a competition to make a massive pop record and while everyone else hired teams of producers, spent millions on rooms of equipment and hired the best of everyone, and then Jackson and bandmate and producer Ben Langmaid spent a winter in a bedroom with one keyboard and did the business. Yes I'm sure it's not the case but if that's what thei great, chintzy pop evokes then they've won anyway haven't they.
