Introducing: La Roux

After a few EPs, British duo La Roux‘s debut LP has finally landed and it’s some pretty damn good “synthpop.” Here are the LP’s strongest tracks, IMO:

Quicksand

Bulletproof

The US release date is set for September 29, a cruel four weeks after the UK release. If y’all like it, I’ll post some more tracks to hold you over in the meantime.

Enjoy!
