"On the evidence of Hands, [Little Boots] should now go stellar. It’s a masterful electro-pop record - nothing too serious about it, just pure pop not squarely aimed at teenage girls. A couple of overtly cheesy Europop melodies are scattered about but mostly the tunes are great - the first half contains five of the best pop songs on any album so far this year (’New In Town’, ‘Earthquake’, ‘Stuck on Repeat’ - edited down and reworked, ‘Click’ and ‘Meddle’) and the second half isn’t far behind including a duet with Phil Oakley of The Human League (’Symmetry’). Best pop album of the year. Hands down." From http://www.nialler9.com/2009/04/27/little-boots-hands/
