While she indeed hails from Brooklyn and employs danceable beats, Santogold's songs exist in a decidedly different realm than many of her festival peers. Obviously indebted to the production and delivery of tourmate M.I.A. - she also opened for Bjork - Santogold veers comfortably from electropop (as on her first single, L.E.S. Artistes) to dancehall grime (as on Creator, in which her M.I.A. influence is especially pronounced), having both fronted a punk band and written for R&B artists.
Santogold's debut LP is out this spring on Lizard King Records, home to another act who know something about buzz, the Killers.
