Frontman Michael Angelakos is the brainchild behind Passion Pit, which has now grown into a 5-piece outfit. Having already released debut EP Chunk of Change as a Valtentine’s Day gift for a girlfriend who "put up with" him, expectations are high for their debut album. You may have already heard the dreamy pop single Sleepyhead, borrowing MGMT's cosmic kaleidoscope and Hot Chip's geeky gizmos to produce stunning lo-fi electronic-pop al la Flaming Lips.

2010  is undoubtedly the year of Ellie Goulding. She kicked off the new decade with a bang by topping the BBC Sound of 2010, winning the Critics Choice BRIT Award, and bagging herself a UK number one with debut album 'Lights'. Not bad for a girl that first attracted attention by posting home made demo's on her myspace page.

The Welsh lass sits somewhere between a singer-songwriter and synth-pop starlet. Like a kooky British version of Lykke Li or a more danceable Cerys Matthews.
