Little Boots: hype and backlash!

Nobody was ever going to expect the whole population of the world to stop what they were doing and go out and buy Little Boots’ debut album. Nor would you expect the vast majority of music fans to fall head over heels in love with ‘Hands’ the second they first heard it. But a general opinion has emerged that somewhere along the way, she’s bottled it, made a record completely dictated by an urge to sell records, a record that ignores her electronic roots. But in truth, the moment we became fixated with ‘Stuck On Repeat’ was the moment we became presumptuous as to how Little Boots’ first offering would sound.

With Joe Goddard of Hot Chip on production duties, people had every right to expect what they didn’t get. Instead of a dark, hypnotic debut album is something that Clash Magazine calls a little more “lightweight“. But in truth it might have been poor judgement on our part to expect a deep exploration into the weird and the wonderful, such as the Jools Holland performance of ‘Meddle’. But Victoria Hesketh certainly made no attempts to shy away from this sketched-out image. Already, in comes the conspiracy theories of big label influence, the grossly negative reviews, the general consensus of almost feeling cheated. But is ‘Hands’ more predictable than we’d imagine?

Hinterland Festival, Glasgow, 30th April – 1st May

Inspired by indoor, multi-venue events such as the Camden Crawl and Great Escape, Glasgow’s Hinterland festival crashed onto the Scottish music scene for two days this Spring. Advertising over 100 bands playing in 15 venues scattered across the city, the line-up appeared eclectic, with an emphasis on local and Scottish bands, as well as plenty from further afield.

The Swede Sound of Music
I hate Abba with a passion, but that’s the first thing anyone ever thinks of when you use the word ‘Sweden’ in conjunction with ‘music’. But some quality alternative artists have been putting the country on the map too, over the past decade. Indie pop extraordinaire label Slumblerland Records in the US has just signed up new Swedish band, Lichtenstein, who continue rousing that ghost of C86 with their simple girl harmonies, bare guitar chords, primal drums and tunes full of aching hoping hearts. We’re reminded of a stack of attractive Swedish indie/pop projectors from recent years.
