La Roux pronounced LaRoo is just making their way onto the pop scene. This new synth duo band is made up of singer Elly Jackson, a bit eccentric and androgynous woman with a flare for the dramatic has written most of the material based on her on again off again relationship over the past 5 years. Joined by Ben Langmaid, who prefers to stay in the background as a composer and producer in the past, has finally decided to come to the stage to pursue his love of 80s electro pop music. Together they attribute much of their musical influence to 1980s bands the Human League, Blancmange, Yazoo and Heaven 17.
The very first album release is a self entitled album that has all the sounds of an 80's synth pop band and some of the 80's look as well. No matter what the look their sound is still extremely impressive.
A new band is always a risk when you are purchasing an album, but this album is well worth the money. And I am sure that we will be hearing more from this duo in the future, as the times are changing and we are moving toward a return to the 1980s sounds and looks, it should be a slam dunk for this new band and their old sound.
Two of my favorite tracks, on the album are Quicksand and Bullet Proof. I do wish, however that Langmaid would make himself more noticeable, as it seems like there is a single performer in the group. Since Langmaid has given a large contribution to the musical work it would be good to see him step out from the background and take his much deserved spotlight.
I really enjoyed the flavor of this new duo and with Elly's look having both the androgynous side and the cute school girl side, and a voice that goes the distance, this incredible duo may be releasing their first album but it certainly wont be their last. Pick it up and check it out. You wont be disappointed.
