La Roux is 20-year-old Elly Jackson and her synth-playing partner Ben Langmaid. Formerly known as Automan, the duo first worked together on acoustic tracks, before ditching the guitars and plugging in the synths. Langmaid is a veteran of 90s house act HUff And Puff, which saw him team up with Faithless producer Rollo Armstrong, while Jackson is keen on classic synth pop such as The Human League and the Eurythmics. Named after the French phrase for "red haired one", the band are managed by the same team that handles the Klaxons, which secured them a place on the uber-cool compilation 'Kitsune Maison 6' and a slot on the Lily Allen tour in March 2009. Kitsune released 'Quicksand' as a single in Decemver, and a debut album is due on Polydor in early 2009.
