I’m in love with both these ladies, and tend to love their style of indie pop in general. Some other artists that I like and consider similar are Bat for Lashes, My Brightest Diamond, Ladyhawke, La Roux, and Imogen Heap’s older material. I’ve researched them pretty extensively on sites like allmusic, last.fm, and pandora, and have came up with some promising leads, but thought I’d try the human element as well. Anyone else a big fan of the burgeoning British electropop scene, and have any suggestions?

**Zola Jesus** …though it’s more of a darker version of Florence + the Machine
