The old thread is sadly locked in Camden so here's a shiny new one.
For those of you unaware of Sarah Nixey, she was a cult indie pinup in the late 90s / early 00s, as the frontwoman of electro-indiepop band Black Box Recorder. They only really bothered the charts once in 2000 with the controversial facts of life, but like all good pop they were sadly underated. The albums, particularly in my mind Passionoia, were brilliant.
Anyway, a few months ago, we were all a bit surprised when Sarah came back solo and released a single. Well now there's another one - Strangelove. It's very Sophie Ellis Bextor for starters. You could easily put Sophie's voice over it (which isnt too dissimiliar) and it would be a perfect track for her. It's much more pop than anything she's previously done, with a big bassline, and scratchy synthy sounds (like in Mixed Up World)
Anyway the bottom line to this jumbled post is that its flipping good. Hooray.
