Little Boots

There’s not much you can say against the laser harp. At the Highline Ballroom on Tuesday night a beam of green light shot up from the floor, then fanned out into eight individual rays. The tiny synth-pop singer Little Boots, wearing a gold lamé gown and face mask, played the melody of her song “Earthquake” by moving her hand among the streams of light; each time she blocked one, it triggered a synthesizer pitch, and she could alter its tone by lowering or raising her hand on each beam.

“Earthquake” isn’t much of a song, but that was a beautiful display. It made you feel light. “I’m basically obsessed with lasers,” she admitted, chattily, when the song was done…

…And at two points in the show, putting on a cape and hood and getting behind a red synthesizer, she evoked another great future monger from the past: Sun Ra. This sort of thing has a history. There’s a lot out there besides Auto-Tune. [NY Times]
