Polly Scattergood

Signed to Mute, 25-year-old singer-songwriter Scattergood got unfairly lost in a wave of punchy, female-fronted synth-pop acts when her first album came out in 2009. Fortunately, her new album ‘Arrows’ suggests she’ll be more than able to hold her own this time around. Her eccentric, dramatic and sweeping electronic pop suggests Björk or Alison Goldfrapp backed by a Flaming Lips/Fuck Buttons supergroup.
