Description from Wikipedia:
La Roux (pronounced: /laˈruː/) is a British electropop synth duo band made up of singer and synth player Eleanor "Elly" Jackson, and co-writer and co-producer Ben Langmaid. Jackson describes their respective roles as "very much a half and half sharing situation... not like a singer producer outfit", but also recognizing that it often can "look like a solo act".. Their music is influenced by 1980s synthpop including Yazoo, The Human League, Heaven 17 and Blancmange.
