Arecibo

VINYL FORMAT. The arrival of Little Boots has signaled something of a collective epiphany. Sometimes you don't know what has been missing from your life until it's right there in the room with you, and then you wonder how you ever managed without it. It has been barely a year since her solo project tentatively began, and already Victoria Hesketh is UK pop music's most talked about new star. Ticking off every major piece of "next big thing" feature press without even a properly released single to her name, she's a rare instance of mirrored and completely justified industry and public hysteria. Each crystal-tipped sabe of dance-pop truth is as instant and succinct as it is pulse-racingly powerful.

People have labeled her songs many things: space-pop, nu-disco, electro, R&B, to name but a few. The truth being that while tags like these may ring true in relation to a particular instance, they don't even begin to cover the experience of the music she creates.
