When London band Rochelle released their first single 'Fer De Lance' on Kitsune Records last year they were exactly the type of band you could imagine getting remixed and being played by bloggy people at little dance nights in East London. It was glitchy goodness, with a touch of the overstyling, but didn't have that big hook that might interest anyone out of E2. Now they're back for 2009 and pushed the pop fader up a little bit, resulting in the much more accessible 'Chin Up'.
First things first though, Rochelle are a band - not some shiny electro diva. Lydia is the name of the Amy Winehouse look-a-like and if I were her manager I might be suggesting a bit of a hair colour change to stop any ridiculous confusion. She's even managed to rock a key-tar in this Klaxons-y video months before Little Boots is allowed to waggle hers about in a video. 'Chin Up' is out in April and they're playing live at Yo-Yo on Thursday night. Of course you will all be at Miss-Shapes instead.

Can anyone figure out what the 'one for sorrow, two for joy...' bit of the verse sounds just like?
