Ladytron - Runaway. Vaguely similar to La Roux’s effort, but if you ask me, both a much the song and video are far better, the latter if only because it’s more tightly constrained.
I’ve had Velocifero on my iPod for ages, but it was only when Tom Coates mentioned Ghosts and I rewatched this video (YouTube helpfully blocking everything else from the UK, thanks!) that I realised how much I liked it. I’ve since listened to the album once or twice a week, and it’s great. Well worth it if you missed it last year (as long as you’re into wall-of-sound electropop-ish stuff).
