"The Welsh lass is a cross between a singer-songwriter and a synth-pop starlet. Is she another Kate Nash? A kooky British Lykke Li? A technoid Cerys Matthews? ... Ellie Goulding is a singer-songwriter who has been performing and writing for about a year, and is generating quite a buzz, not just here but in the States – one American musician has already covered her song Wish I Stayed. ... In a way, her mournful voice is like a lighter, airier version of Tracy Thorn's, that quintessential 80s bedsit miserabilist, and you can imagine Goulding's pained trills combining as well with modern electronica as Thorn's did with Portishead's trip-hop noir in the 90s." --Guardian UK
Bag Raiders
Bag Raiders' Jack Glass and Chris Stracey are preparing to bring their glittery electro-house pop jams to the USA, with the announcement of a March/April tour that includes a slot at dance music's mecca - Ultra Music Festival in Miami. The boys have been honing their live show on the Australian summer festival circuit, and are ready to bring some Sunlight to a club near you. Bag Raiders dropped in the US on January 25th, and instantly went Top 10 on the iTunes electronic charts, where it peaked last week at #4. Their album was #2 most added at RPM radio last week, and entered the CMJ RPM most played charts at #32.
"Gigantic, dulce de leche pop that expertly marries tuxedo dance with brazen, hooky vocals. ... Bag Raiders transcends typical dance and pop boundaries, showcasing the creativity of a band at the forefront of modern production. The album will appeal to fans new and old, coming correct with sing-a-long choruses, deep-breath anthems, blissful chill and pure dancefloor energy." - RCRDLBL
