“..Little Boots is the big sound for 2009..”
“..Listening to the crystalline, shiny pop music of Little Boots, you might imagine it was created on digital dream machines in some remote pop laboratory.
But drop in on its creator’s house in East London and you’ll find no such hi-techisms..
..rather a scruffy old piano, a bath full of balloons, and a drummer dashing out of the front door while a manky cat breaks in through a gap in the back one.
And then there’s the woman herself - Victoria Hesketh, recently labelled “the future of pop” by the Popjustice website and hotly tipped by our own Pete Paphides.
Here she sits in her bedroom, surrounded by a wonderland of beeping and bleeping musical instruments.
Tiny, northern, 25 years old, the one-woman show that is Little Boots has bleached blonde hair, enough eyeliner to do an Egyptian cat proud, and a brand new prize:
..runner-up in the Critics’ Choice Award for the Brits 2009.
Is she annoyed not to have come first?..”
