Can't Get Enough Of Pip Brown

I think it's about time I shared my extreme undying love for Ladyhawke with you. That's her delicious single Paris Is Burning in that there YouTube video above. A friend of mine recently admitted loving her music but doubting himself entirely as he couldn't help but feel she is essentially an electro Natasha Bedingfield.

There definitely is an unashamed poppiness to her tracks, but a glance at the bio on her website reveals rocky roots, so I probably wouldn't expect any of her stuff to be used on the opening credits for The Hills any time soon.

She plays the instruments on her self-titled debut herself, using mostly '70s and '80s analogue synths. The album came out in September on Aussie label Modular, who you can thank for the slew of Australia-based electrorock acts (Cut Copy, Midnight Juggernauts, Late of The Pier etc.) currently taking over the globe.

This is her latest single, My Delirium:



And this one is my personal fav, Magic:



SO dramatic! Actually gives me tingles every time I hear it... By the way does anybody else recognise that drum loop? I can't help but think it's a loop used in LOADS of songs - sounds like the drums in Dare by Gorillaz (with a bit of effecting), for example. Wreckin me head!
