A Conversation With Saint Lou Lou
Double-threat Elektra and Miranda are the beautiful and talented twin sisters who have just released their first single as the group Saint Lou Lou. Raised between Stockholm and Sydney in a bohemian, musical family, their unique brand of ‘dream pop’ has a wonderful lightness of touch about it and a maturity that belies their young years (they are only just out of high school). Think Beach House meets Au Revoir Simone via Joni Mitchell and you are about there. They look the part too of course, with an image that is both understated-sexy and studious and wouldn’t look out of place in a Sofia Coppola movie.
Their debut single ‘Maybe You’ is about to drop on Kitsune, the pioneering Paris-based electronic label who are famous for being able to spot the hottest, freshest talent out there. Kitsune always know who to suggest for their artists to collaborate with and in this case they chose Lauer to do the remix; a truly excellent interpretation it is too. We don’t doubt that everything will run like clockwork and people are going to lap them up.
We fired off these questions to the busy girls ahead of their debut gig in London at Gold Dust next week.
