Angles

With over four million views of their videos on YouTube, two smash U.K. singles ('Thou Shalt Always Kill' and 'Beat That My Heart Skipped') and stellar U.S. performances early in 2008 at Coachella and SXSW already under their belts, Britain's hottest export-the duo of Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip-have announced the inking of a deal with Strange Famous Records for the U.S. release of their debut album Angeles. Angeles combines witty and shockingly spot-on decrees from the mind of vocalist Pip with producer Le Sac's mesmeric electro-blessed beats. In constant contention with perceived wisdom and at issue with the sanctity of pop-culture's sacred cows, Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip have become the new faces of 'outsider pop'. Their towering structures of Casio-enthused electro-hip-pop are alien to the conventions of radio programming, and their lyrics even dare to ask questions of themselves and the listener.
