First off, I adore JMW Turner. Thinking about JMW Turner's paintings the other day I got to thinking about stuff that is currently awesome coming out of Britain. Sitting there it struck me that a lot of the awesome electro pop music that I am listening to these days (guilty pleasure?) is by female artists from Britain. While I have written about Little Boots and obsessed about Micachu before on TSRE, it really is quite stunning the volume of catchy pop there is from Britain these days. La Roux features massive vocals and a strident presence. I absolutely love Ellie Goulding and her electro singer song writing. New to the scene though is Marina and the Diamonds, originally discovered over at Neon Gold, their song Obsessions is probably my favorite and most played track at this instant. What a well crafted pop song: catchy chorus, powerful and agile vocals and that twinkling piano. Really, eventhing in this vein that comes out of Britain right now turns gold. Hooray for the Brits. Now go and check it all out.
