Release date - June 22
2006's Begin To Hope was an unexpected minor hit for the Russian-born, New York-based purveyor of quirky piano pop (influenced by Tori Amos, influence on Kate Nash), thanks largely to the crossover appeal of single Fidelity. From what we've heard of Far, she could be about to establish herself firmly in the mainstream.
13.June's Big Albums - Frankmusik - Complete Me
Release date - June 22
Frankmusik (Vincent to his mum) is a pop star like they used to make them - intense, neurotic, individual, and highly talented. Thankfully, his music, a winning take on '80s electronic pop (yes, that again) is more than a match for the image.
14. June's Big Albums - La Roux - La Roux
Release date: June 29
Like Little Boots, La Roux were on most of the Ones To Watch lists at the back end of last year. Influenced almost exclusively by '80s synth-pop outfits like Eurythmics, Depeche Mode, The Human League, and Yazoo, the success or otherwise of their eponymous debut will be an effective barometer of the '80s revival. Oh, and the singer's mum is Sergeant June Ackland in The Bill. Really.
