Hands

Hands is the title of the debut album by British recording artist Little Boots, released in June 2009. Preceded by the singles Meddle (here in a re-recorded version) and New In Town, the album reached no.5 in the UK charts on the first week of release. It also spawned two further singles, Remedy and Earthquake. Remedy was the most successful of the four singles, reaching no.6 in the UK in August 2009.

The album was representative of the return of the synth-pop genre, also taking in elements of disco and Euro-pop, typical of the late 70s and early 1980s. Little Boots' composition and recording makes predominant use of synthesisers, drum amchines and ither electronic music devices. She became known for her use of the Yamaha Tenori-on musical gadget during live and TV performances.

The track Symmetry features a vocal duet with Philip Oakey of The Human League.
