notes
La Roux built their sound around vintage analogue synths and this is the archetype: a bright, slightly resonant lead riff carrying the entire song, with a slow pulse-width drift keeping the tone from sitting perfectly static. James Ford's mix keeps it dry and forward rather than washed in reverb.
