HAVE YOU DISCOVERED... LECTROLIPS?

Oh my - I have been meaning to write about these boys for so long, I almost feel guilty for not sharing their music with you! Forgive me, please? How about I tantalise you with their funky, electro sounds?

Leo Tarring & Antony Edwards make up the very talented duo known as LectroLips. Their indie-electro-pop sound is ripe, clever and somewhat cheeky. For me their name essentially provides a great definition of their music - electro pop honey that sits wonderfully on your lips.

If you're a fan of artists like Robyn, Röyksopp, Empire of the Sun, La Roux, etc - then these boys are for you.

You can listen to all of the boys brilliant work via their Soundcloud page (40+ tracks to listen to!); but below I have my favourite piece - Voyeur.

Welcome, LectroLips.

HAVE YOU DISCOVERED... VANBOT?

Oh - you know I love my new music, especially when said new music is as good as this. I'm talking about a track called Make Me, Break Me by Ester Ideskog, otherwise known as Vanbot.

Vanbot, yet another talented artist from the land of the Swedes, sounds a lot like a cross between Robyn and La Roux - the vocals of our other Swedish princess complimented with the pop-synth sound of Elly Jackson's group. Essentially, nothing short of a pure pop sensation.

On launching her debut single, in a recent interview with Pop in Stereo Vanbot cites some of her musical influences as Goldfrapp, Royksopp, Empire Of The Sun, The Chemical Brothers, Robyn, and Crystal Castles - clearly no surprises there.

Make Me, Break Me is taken from Vanbot's debut album which will be released globally in mid-April. Check out the audio below, and stay tuned for informaition on this new bundle of joy as I get it!

Welcome, Vanbot.

LISTEN TO NEW CHROMEO WITH "HOT MESS" FEAT. ELLY JACKSON

Canadian electrofunk duo Chromeo (childhood mates P-Thugg and Dave 1) may finally have themselves a global hit! The boys, who hail from Montreal, Quebec, have been fairly successful in their homeland, yet they've failed to make a real splash globally.

Chromeo have released three albums over the course of the last seven years - their debut album, She's in Control, was released in 2004. Late 2010 they released Business Casual - their most successful album to date - and off that is the single that I think may make some noise for them globally.

Hot Mess is the name of that track. It's very 80's synth with sexy guitars, very reminiscent of Prince's hey-day. So much so in fact, that I've already been dancing 'round mixing the lyrics of Hot Mess and Prince's Kiss in my bedroom. Hmmm, too much information.

Anywho. What really seals the deal for me is that Hot Mess features the guest vocals of Elly Jackson (lead singer of La Roux). Elly adds the perfect finishing touch to the track. Oh... I just love it!

Check out the video below - unfortunately it doesn't feature Miss Jackson, but it's a good clip none the less. Enjoy!

Look out for Chromeo feat. Elly Jackson on iTunes soon. The current album version does not contain Elly on vocals. [ITUNES]
