I concur with Dr_Jones, Little Boots' first album (Hands, 2009) is great. A bit too much in-your-face at times but there are many very good songs on it, Including a duet (Symmetry) with Phil Oakey of the Human League. She likes to use old synthesizers. Her third, new album was just released a few weeks ago. It's called Working Girl and is very good too. Recommended if you like dancey-pop.
