The russet-red one…

…is what the gifted English girl Eleanor Jackson calls her exciting project, but in French then; La Roux. And it’s good, really good. She released her first single “Quicksand” last year on the French label Kitsuné. Great tune, check out the video directed of Kinga Burza (Kate Perry, The Teenagers, The Thrills, Ladyhawke):

The English newspaper The Guardian tells us that we should keep an eye on La Roux during 2009. And I can ensure you that we will, not to should be pure stupidity. The second single “In For The Kill” will be released March 16th on the record label Polydor. They are also set to release the debut album in 2009. Can hardly wait…

There are a lot of remixes made of these two songs that I have mentioned, not all of them great, but we give you them all anyway. So then it’s up to you to decide which one you like the most. My favourite remix is the Joe and Will Ask? remix that was featured on “Tracasseur Mixtape February 2009”.
