I just listened to The Cock n Bull Kid (can't bring myself to type it as one word again. Why not? Because that's just silly.) I'm probably about a million years behind Hoxton, but wow! Isn't she just wonderful? Like an East London Santogold with a Casio keyboard, produced by the equally wonderful Metronomy.
Her new single On My Own (released on 7 July, release-date fans) is deceptively plodding at first listen, but those mosquito chords crept inside my brain. It's a bittersweet, end of the affair reminisce. And it is quite wonderful.
There's also an MTV2 ready video, in which she stamps on a cake. Video looks good, but a needless waste of a cake, I say.
