by Bill Pearis New Zealand dance rocker Ladyhawke (aka Pip Brown) released her second album, Anxiety, back in May on the newly-rejuvinated Casablanca Records, a label that seems to have cornered the market on indie dancepop (Crystal Castles, Saint Etienne, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs). If you liked her 2008 eponymous debut (and still like it), you'll dig the '80s inflected tunes on Anxiety as well. (That's the cover art above.) Videos for her singles "Blue Eyes," "Sunday Drive" and "Black White [...]
This is how the world ends; not with an ecstatic electro-bang but with a fuzz-bass Britpop whimper. If I were the betting type, I'd have wagered my first-born and several of my vital organs on Ladyhawke's second coming Anxiety being a Pop Supernova. Not just the finest Planet Pop could furnish as Earth dies screaming in this year of the 20 'n' the 12; but an album that would help fire the lighthouse that would guide our zombie-fried souls back to spiritual Nirvana. Yes, one had high hopes. Perhaps unrealistically so. But...

Happy Monday? That doesn't sound right. Mondays are never happy unless you get your required maui going on under those red eyes and noise-cancelling headphones listening to the best music in the world! :) 3 videos today. Enjoy!

It had been awhile since we last heard from New Zealand's Ladyhawke and frankly I missed her. She's got a really cool voice and great pop sensibility. Plus she always gets remixed to the max and some of them are really amazing. Like this new Punks Jump Up remix for her first single "Black White & Blue" from her upcoming album 'Anxiety' which is scheduled for release in March . Check out the track/video/remix below. Good to have you back Ms. Hawke, don't stay away [...]
Da Nova Zelândia não vem vento nem casamento. Mas vem mais do que Kiwis. Vem esta senhora, por exemplo, para voltar a dar musica a este blogue que.., coitado, bem precisa.
It 'twas but a week ago when our very own Nancy enlightened us to her 2k8 soundtracked by Ladyhawke . Well, that Kiwi is back with a video for "Black, White & Blue" and finally fills us in on the reason behind the camera motif. Is she telling us that the photographer is filming "real life"? Is that why she's alone? Then, all of a sudden, Ms. Brown takes something interesting, because those filters making the video look eerily like an acid trip. It's a cool concept and brings us a little further inside the mind of [...]
An album that I quite enjoyed in 2009 was Ladyhawke's self-titled album so when I heard the Kiwi was getting ready to release her latest album, Anxiety, I was pretty excited. The first single... Read the rest on Speakerboxxx.com
Ya estamos preparados para la Ladyhawke mania, se viene nuevo disco y con esto esperamos que un monton de remixes. Aqui les dejamos los primeros que nos han llegado. Pinche aquí para ver el vídeo
On March 16th, New-Wave-Zealander, Ladyhawke, will drop her second album, Anxiety. Going on what ya fav LA Music Blog, BitCandy have already heard, this album is going to be absolutely A, peeps!Lead s
The concept behind Ladyhawke's video for her single "Black, White & Blue" , from her forthcoming album Anxiety, is based on the 1978 movie Eyes Of Laura Mars , which starred Faye Dunaway as a fashion photographer who can tap into the mind of a serial killer. As far as we're concerned, the video is sorely lacking in murders and serial killers, and is swimming in awkward model dance moves. She captured those creepy eyes from the movie poster pretty well, though. Check it out below. [...]
From her upcoming sophomore album, Anxiety comes the video for Ladyhawke's forthcoming single, "Black, White & Blue", which hits stores on February 19th. Included with the single will be remixes from Nile Delta, Punks Jukp up and The Big Pink. The wait time for the full-length is another month after that, dropping on March 19th via Island/Universal, but we should be hearing more goodies from the album before then. Ladyhawke will also be heading out in the UK in late April post-album release. Have a look at dates below. 4/23 - Brighton, Komedia [...]
In Ladyhawke 's new video for 'Black, White and Blue', Pip Brown plays a photographer from an era of days gone by. I don't really get it, it doesn't fit the lyrics at all? Watch it below and see if you agree. Or have a theory about it... Click here to view the embedded video.
Hace dos semanas, la artista de Nueva Zelanda Ladyhawke presentó Black White & Blue , el primer single de lo que será su nuevo disco, Anxiety . Lo pudimos escuchar gracias a la BBC . Ahora, podemos ver el video de la canción, además de escuchar su primer remix. La portada del single había anticipado un poco lo que vemos en el video. Era una ilustración de la cantante enfocando su cámara de [...]
Adelantos, teaser del disco, arte y trackilst ya habían sido revelados antes de este día en que podemos ver el primer video de "Anxiety" el disco 2012 de Ladyhawke . Debo admitir que casi no reconocí a la australiana que siempre lleva un pelo más "natural" y verla tan peinada y maquillada me sorprendió un poco. Bueno el video se trata de una Ladyhawke fotógrafa de modas que va teniendo alucinaciones y/o revelaciones mientras transcurre la sesión. Volvemos a ver una estética ochentera como [...]
Do you like facts? We do. In fact our inner geek would quite happily write every blog post as simply a list of facts. Not beliefs or opinions (you can form your own on those) but facts. We’d be like a mini new music Wikipedia with only one editor. But in the interest of adding to the debate and having [...]
I honestly can't wait for this to be out, it's not only nostagia for the better years of electro, but also I love the tune; it has a 70's Motown feel, which I find like it s bright idea, in case music decides to go into. Ladyhawke 's sophomore album Anxiety will be released March 27th by Modular Records. Ladyhawke - White Black & Blue [...]

Ladyhawke's new single, Black White & Blue might be everything that is missing in the music industry right now. I have a keen intuition in my heart that she is positioned and poised to make a serious impression to the masses of new fans in the works this year. She has delivered genius retro majorness x1 Million with a spot of Annie Leibowitz' throwback nature to the good old days. I wasn't sure if I wanted to throw off my clothes and jump in there with those models or just crimp their [...]
