Hello, we're back, and we're taking calls

So what can you good people tell me about the band Frou Frou?

Their website doesn't work; I got a promo of their album and I think it's quite nice, but I can't find a lick of info about them and I dunno when the disc is actually coming out.

I'm also a bit concerned as the album is very polished; without any pedigree information, I'm worred I'm listening to the new D*do rather than the new Dot Allison, if you know what I mean.

I've dumped some tracks into a directory; take a listen for yourselves and tell me what you think. It's very radio-friendly in a Beth Orton kind of way. It pushes some of my buttons.

(Note: after some research, I see that Guy from Frou Frou was responsible for Madonna's "Music" so I guess they're heading straight into the charts with a bullet. And my friend Arturo said he thinks they sound like N*talie Imbr*glia. Shit. Maybe I'm drunk.)

Hmm... I was thinking they sound somewhere between Dido and The Cranberries. Apparently they've been signed by Island Records (the UK one?) and I found some info at the record company's site at: http://www.islandrecords.co.uk/artfrontend/frameset_artist_homeUK.asp?artistid=60

Dido? The Cranberries? Sounds like a real discovery, Brian :-)

I was walking to work today and saw a Frou Frou poster on a wall, so I assumed it was a sign that I should see what they sound like.

First impressions -- after dl'ing one song -- like Björk's second album but shiner. More shrink-wrapped.

haven't managed to hear them yet but a band with my name can't be that bad!

also they are played on xfm (London FM radio) which is a good reference!
