As occasionally happens, this week’s New Favourite Thing is actually an Old Favourite Thing — two-thirds of one, anyway — in glitzy new camouflage. Well, not that old an Old Favourite Thing. So it’s not like the pair’s recent reinvention as the shinier, synth-ier duo LOLAA has been conducted in the shadow of their imminent consignment to the rock ’n’ roll retirement home. It definitely pursues a more tech-savvy trajectory than Magneta Lane’s scruffy/punky catalogue, yet the pop heart beating at the music’s centre is entirely familiar. An EP’s worth of material is ready to go, Valentine reports, and “we’ll probably be sharing a new track online soon.” Stay tuned.
