La Roux are an English electropop “synth duo” band made up of singer and synth player Elly Jackson and co-writer and co-producer Ben Langmaid. Elly found a book of baby names in a bin. Within the book was the name “La Roux”. ‘La Roux’ comes from the French for ‘red-haired one’ (‘le roux (masculine) or la rousse (feminine)’) referring to Jackson’s distinctive hairstyle. Their music is largely influenced by 1980s pop music including Eurythmics, Depeche Mode, The Human League, Yazoo and Prince.
Their first single Quicksand was released by the Kitsuné Music record label in November, 2008. Polydor are set to release La Roux’s debut album on 29 June 2009. Polydor released La Roux’s second single
In For The Kill on 16 March 2009 and prominent dubstep producer Skream has made two remixes of the track. ‘In For The Kill’ debuted at number 11 on the UK Singles Chart on 22 March 2009 and has so far peaked at number 2 (as of 19 April 2009).
La Roux gained fifth position on the BBC’s Sound of 2009 poll. The Guardian website featured La Roux on their new band of the day column. The Guardian also featured La Roux as one of the “Best New Acts of 2009” in the January of that year. The album has been nominated for a Mercury Prize.
La Roux plans to wait until they finish touring, which will be well into 2010 before doing major work a second album. They do not want to rush things and do not plan on bringing in a big name producer.
