The Bird And The Bee - F_cking Boyfriend

This debut release from the LA synth-pop duo is probably best described as a less dark version of Goldfrapp. As you can probably guess from the title, the Clean Radio version is edited into oblivion and consequently not worth bothering with. The album version is better, but the real star of this release is the Peaches remix.

With all the energy you'd expect from a thumping houseified version, it's got that sort of mesmerizing beat which, with Inara's hypnotic voice, is definitely going to be filling some dancefloors. Admittedly it will probably appeal most to shirtless muscular young men of a certain persuasion, but it's still a damn good track.

If the Goldfrapp oeuvre is more your still and you fancy a trip overseas, then you can catch then supporting Lily Allen on her US tour later this year. They'll bubble under over here for a while, but with the de-expletived version for airplay this will make as much impact on the charts as a supermodel on a dessert trolley.
