These Boots are Made for Walking

Music bloggers are agreed: Little Boots is the future of British pop. Victoria Hesketh, a.k.a. Little Boots, is a tiny singer, born and raised in the British coastal town of Blackpool. Educated in both ballet and piano as a child, she soon progressed to the harp and began playing the synthesiser in a college progressive-rock band "full of stoners-- except for me." She then moved on to singing jazz sets at local casinos. Hesketh told Nylon, "But I was still doing that at 21, and I realized there had to be more to life than playing Norah Jones covers for low-level gamblers." She eventually formed an all-girl trio called Dead Disco, which Hesketh says, "was based on the Killers. I love the Killers." However, she soon met American producer Greg Kurstin, left the group, and created Little Boots. Her music, a mix of electronica and pop, is wholly danceable and wonderfully futuristic. Her album does not yet have a US release date, but her EP, Arecibo is out and features the singles "Stuck on Repeat" and "Meddle," plus a remix of each.
