The duo can also boast hot singles on daytime radio and the upper echelons of the British charts.

Raves for La Roux:

“Elly Jackson is the perfect London pop star of the moment…” - **** Rolling Stone

“Elly is no clichéd electro-minx. Her whipsmart modern take on the heartsore side of the 80’s is centered around her vulnerable voice and big-hearted love songs, drawing on a youthful infatuation with classic pop. It’s the raw humanity contrasted with the crispest, glassiest sounds and Langmaid’s bright beats that make La Roux as accessible as they are irresistible.” - NME

“With pop songs like “Quicksand” and the synth-heavy “In for the Kill,” it’s time for them to set the U.S. on fire.” - Bust

“something new and effortlessly winning.” Pop & Hiss – LA Times

Raves for La Roux:

“Hooks so huge you could use them to raise the Titanic” The Times

“A dream version of how modern pop should be” The Guardian

“(The) self-titled full-length debut sports sub-zero cyber melodies, but much like her frosty foremother Annie Lennox, La Roux injects a healthy dose of emotional turmoil into her songwriting.” - Out Magazine

“Her current single, Quicksand, clones the froideur of Jackson's favourite decade with love and skill, and makes for nagging pop with emotional substance. Clearly, La Roux has greater ambitions than just getting poseurs to dance.” The Independent

Elly and Ben started their successful collaboration just two years ago. Together they write perfect electro-pop tracks that have been luring fans from their seats to the dance floor since they first started playing in London warehouse spaces in 2008. Razor sharp lyrics, up-tempo beats, and remarkable synthesizer skills only scratch the service of the sensational 80’s inspired tracks that have taken the UK by storm. Singles “Quicksand” and “In For the Kill” prove that “La Roux sees electronic musical equipment not as cold instruments of aural torture or imperious alienation but as ways to soundtrack her stories in the most immediately accessible way possible” (The Guardian).

La Roux also plans to release an EP this April in the US on Cherrytree Records. Stay tuned for further details!

Tracklisting for Quicksand EP:

1. Quicksand Single version
2. Quicksand Mad Decent remix No. 1
3. In for The Kill (Skream’s Let’s Get Ravey remix)

In the meantime, don’t miss your chance to catch the sensational La Roux live at a venue near you:

April 3rd Brooklyn, NY @ Studio B
April 4th Montreal, QE @ Les Saints
April 5th Toronto, ONT @ The Drake
April 9th San Francisco, CA @ 330 Ritch (Popscene)
