What a great name! She's from London and this is her first single. But she's been around for some time, you can watch really funny videos of her performing live with a drummer-girl or a drumcomputer. She is standing there with a guitar on stage, singing and ... well looking extremly cool in a very MOD-sense. Yeah, fine with me, always up for a new MOD-movement! She plays very unusual and sometimes erratic folk-mod-pop, here on "Hypocrite" with a fat, but punky DFA-like beat. The whole sound is very DIY and reminds me of the good New Young Pony Club moments. So where do all the young girls suddenly come from, which find massive amounts of fans on Myspace and then are signed a second later (like Kate Nash Lily Allen etc...). Theoretical Girl was caught by XL records, just like Adele. Looks like 2008 will be the year of "FEMALES ARE THE NEW LOUD"!(also new and great and much talked about: Lykke Li, Adele, The New Sins, Duffy, Ladyhawke... well, amongst others)
