Last year, the humbly recorded folk rock of the Dutchess & the Duke confirmed that musical modesty was alive and kicking.It's '09--if you haven't noticed already--and the Seattle duo is ready to carry the torch for another lap with a new album: Sunset / Sunrise. The LP is out now, and here's a bleak, dismal ditty from it:MP3: The Dutchess & the Duke- "Hands"For more on the Dutchess & the Duke: /
Drop it low and let it pop, bounce and explode from the ground up. That's the modus operandi for this new treatment of Little Boots's next single, "Remedy", from Rusko, who employs a three-beat dubstep drum measure and wobbly highs...
The song is not the strongest as a single nor as an album track, but, the video is not so bad. The more I see of her, the more I think she is a timid version of GaGa. Posted in Beats, Brit Brit Brit, Clip Tagged: boots, choice, download, gaga, hands, lady, leak, little, new, remedy, single, video
The Hands at their Final Show ::: photo by Abbey Unbeknownst to me when I was tickets to tonight's Hands show at The Mars Bar, I was buying a ticket to their last. Before the band launched into a short set of their anthemic throwback tunes, those songs that sounded like classics on listen one, lead guitarist [...]
So this post features a couple of tracks that I used to play years back when DJing. It depended on my mood, really, as I liked to bounce around between genres. The first cut is by the pretty much unknown group Adult. I actually saw these guys live before they really became "in" with the whole electro crowd. Not bad, if I remember right. This song got them quite a bit of play, and resulted in a good Carl Craig remix of this track. I'll even post that remix, also, as a little gift. So here's Adult.'s [...]
Everyone has heard the hype. The La Roux Vs Little Boots nonsense. Was it worth the wait? Yes it was. Victoria Hesketh has delivered a classic pop album in the rich vein of Goldfrapp or Kylie. I saw her in a tiny club in Newcastle in late 2008 and you could tell pop stardom beckoned [...]
She arrived on the scene promising us a big ballast of unapologetic pop music. And we believed her. Promoted her. And even thought she was cute. She was in the right direction. She had the disco balls. She had the Atari triangles. She even had unicorns roaming around her. The songs that surfaced promised a smooth direction into pop path. Even when we thought "Meddle" was bit dry. We blamed it on the early progress of an artist. We believed her. Why wouldn't we, she plays an Japanese instrument called the Tenori-on . [...]
Little Boots estuvo hablando sobre los gustos musicales de las personas y explicó que quizás estén cambiando, dado el gran éxito que tuvo el single de La Roux, llamado "In For The Kill". "Lo que hizo La Roux fue increíble. Que ellos estén en los charts contradice los pensamientos de todos. La gente y a no quiere a Akon o lo que sea. Los tiempos quizás estén cambiando". Además también hizo relación a su música. Explicó que no sabe cuánto de cierto tiene, [...]

Little Boots releases her much-anticipated album Hands this week.
Hoy se presentó oficialmente Hands el esperadísimo disco debut de Little Boots del cual ya les estuvimos hablando largo y tendido aquí contándoles todas las novedades que había sobre la producción. Esta vez es para comentarles que el disco ya está en la red, como era de esperarse. Este es el tracklist: New In Town Earthquake Stuck On Repeat Click Remedy Meddle Ghost Mathematics [...]
Hope you had a happy Hands release day! It seems like only yesterday when I first discovered Victoria Hesketh's charming ditties of Stuck on Repeat and Meddle but it was nearly a year ago ! Make sure you get out and buy it! It's very good! Expect a review sometime in the near future. If, after 12 months of breathless blog hype, you're still unconvinced, I've posted the ridiculously overblown, ridiculously camp, but ridiculously catch Remedy after the jump... In other news, the [...]
Glittery girls armed with keyboards as weaponry have certainly been taking over the airwaves this 2009. La Roux, Lady GaGa and Little Boots are just some of the women triumphantly leading the electro-pop revolution. But who is the best of this, perhaps a little overcrowded, female disco crop? Well, Little Boots , aka Victoria Hesketh, already has herself a head start. She's been hailed as the "future of British pop", and back in January, came out top on the BBC Sound of 2009 poll, which aimed to recognise major up and coming talent. Unsurprisingly then, [...]
Picnics, Pimms, plasters and paralytic climes swarm about the initiation of the British festival season like mosquitoes over Latitude's lake. Wychwood is upon us. Camping in the shadow of Cheltenham racecourse's solitary stand, the sun's laser-like rays gleaming off its dubious futuristic architecture, pretence and cares simultaneously fly out of the kaleidoscopic array of tents that litter the innards of the track. And they're quite literally the only litter to be seen. Whilst tent pegs can be found six feet under at Worthy Farm months after Glastonbury has passed through, Wychwood's recycling scheme has caught on. The sheer [...]
Little Boots le permitirá a sus fanáticos conocer 6 canciones de Hands , su disco debut, antes de su lanzamiento a través de NME . La primera producción de la artista será lanzada oficialmente el 8 de junio, pero se decidió permitirles a los fans conocer algo antes y ya pueden escuchar "New In Town", "Earthquake", "Stuck On Repeat", "Click" "Remedy" y "Meddle". El disco fue grabado en Los Angeles y producido por Victoria Hesketh (el verdadero nombre de Little Boots) junto con Joe Goddard de Hot Chip y [...]
Little Boots är en av årets stora nykomlingar och har fått mycket uppmärksamhet i bloggosfären. Snart får vi höra betydligt mycket mer från den fagra flickan från Blackpool då debutalbumet Hands har fått ett releasedatum (8 juni). Sex smakprov från albumet finns att streama över på NME , bland annat så hittar man där förstasingeln New in town , men ni ska inte behöva gå så värst långt för att höra (och se) den! Little Boots - New in town Little [...]
From small packages can spring great things. When Victoria Hesketh appeared onto the internet "memesphere" last year showcasing her ability to grapple with the Tenori-on (a light-sequencing electronic Japanese instrument) there was always a high probability that any subsequent releases wouldn't quite live up to those impressive yet amateur beginnings. So it is with delight that State can report that Hands proves Little Boots is far beyond pure gimmickry. Bedroom covers of Wiley and Hot Chip are all well and good for a fleeting nanosecond but for Little Boots the challenge was to turn those [...]
My Homegame review is pretty brief, but it is here , and there is a wee video thingy as well for you to enjoy. This is of course the accompanying podcast, with songs either from the bands I saw there, or from EPs and bits and pieces I acquired at the merch table up in Fife. I should really have included some interviews and shit in this podcast, shouldn't I, but then I wasn't actually as well prepared or as organised as I should have been, really. Inasmuch as I kind of think I would prefer my [...]
As if the US foreign policy's reputation wasn't tarnished enough, things like these still pop up to show the world how a big chunk of the American populous believe they are on some holy quest of sorts with those meaningless wars Bush has started but never finished. Now these troops are going around Afghanistan handing out bibles translated in Pushtu and Dari to citizens and label them as "gifts." They say the are on a "hunt for Jesus." What a great choice of words. Now that Obama's in office, a man that understands and respects everyone's belief system, [...]
Se qualche volta tradite SoundsBlog per qualche blog inglese o americano, e ve lo possiamo concedere se lo fate con parsimonia, penso che già saprete che è Little Boots . E lei ci scherza un po' su e chiama questo brano New In Town anche se, lei tanto nuova proprio non lo è. In verità si chiama Victoria Hesketh, è inglese poco più che ventenne, si è fatta conoscere per il bel faccino e una serie di cover fatte per voce e Tenori-on , un fenomenale e luccicante strumento elettronico, nella sua [...]
