LADYHAWKE ROCKS THE POP

Not to be confused with Jagjaguwar's Vancouver-based 5-piece, New Zealand's latest princess of pop, Ladyhawke (a.k.a. Philippa Brown) has been flying up the kiwi charts with her fiesty new wave hits in the vein of CSS, Santogold and Katy Perry.

Named after the 1985 Matthew Broderick & Michelle Pfieffer fantasy flick, Ladyhawke has plenty me-decade nostalgia: "It just sounded like everything meant so much more back then," she explained to the UK's i-D Magazine. Check out her Kinga Burza-directed video for "Back of The Van" below and be sure to pick up a copy of her new self-titled full-length, out now on Island.

Tracklisting:
1. Magic
2. Manipulating Woman
3. My Delirium
4. Better Than Sunday
5. Another Runaway
6. Love Don't Live Here
7. Back of The Van
8. Paris Is Burning
9. Professional Suicide
10. Dusk Till Dawn
