my heart has flown to you like a dove, it can fly ♫ Hot Chip - Take It In Hot Chip have a new album slated for February and this is the first taste. The impeccably titled One Life Stand is probably one of the more anticipated album of 2010. Ever since their 2004 debut Coming On Strong , they have been upping their game with more pep, funk, and general poppiness and it sounds like these guys aren't just riding the coattails of their 2008 [...]
With the 2010 edition of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival scheduled to get underway a little less than five months from now, we are finally starting to get an idea of what the lineup will look like. According to a source with knowledge of the festival's plans, Muse will serve as a headliner for the Indio, CA event, set to take place from April 16-18. This will mark the British outfit's first appearance at Coachella since 2004 and will come amidst what will likely be a summer chock-full of tour dates in support of [...]
Sebastian Mlynarski When I rounded up all the bits of information around Holly Miranda's solo project back in January , I had no notion that interest in it would eclipse that given to her main band, The Jealous Girlfriends . But her more atmospheric approach is certainly more in line with what people expect/want to hear wafting out of Brooklyn these days and it has apparently tickled more ears than the Girlfriends' heaver, more guitar-driven rock did. So while the Girlfriends take a deserved break, Miranda has been busy - [...]
A selection of random yet quality-assured remixes that have passed through my inbox in the last few weeks that you might like featuring Joe Goddard, Four Tet, Delorentos, Wolf Gang, Gaggle, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, The Field, Gold Panda, Brassica, Chromeo and St. Etienne. Last week, Joe Goddard of Hot Chip released the Apple Bobbing EP containing tracks from his Harvest Festival album which also featured this Four Tet rework. MP3: Joe Goddard - Apple Bobbing (Four Tet remix) Starfucker are [...]
Joe Goddard – Half Time Oranges Half Time Oranges is a great evocative name for a song, just not necessarily this one. It feels like the piece of music it's attached to oughtta be some warm & bouncy folktronica blob, heavy on the found sounds and children laughing and neat acoustic guitar fingerpickin', but instead founding Hot Chip member Joe Goddard has dropped some all-synthetic and fairly menacing sounds on this track from his solo debut, Harvest Festival . Actually, the whole album's pretty detached and mechanical which feels weird when bro tries [...]
Music News - To celebrate the upcoming release of their new album, One LIfe Stand (due out February 8, 2010) HOT CHIP has announced a series of USA and Canadian shows. The run will begin April 16 in Oakland, CA with a show at Fox Theater and continue through an April 24, 2010 show at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC (full itinerary below). Hot Chip will add a live drummer on the tour, and will be supported by The xx . [...]
Now this is new. The unstructured feel of the acoustics is certainly foreign to basic Hot Chip tracks but it's an interesting change. If this would be remixed, it would take a high curve to do that! Looking forward to an anthem from Hot Chip to clap our hands to! :: Hot Chip - Take It In
Wow. Those super cool geeky geniuses that are Hot Chip are on their way back with a new album, and little teaser of it has been leaked! What do you think? At first I was a bit unsure - but as soon as the chorus kicks in it wreaks of Hot Chippery. These guys are slowly becoming a British institution - and I don't use that term lightly - that puts them up there with the likes of David Attenborough and Stephen Fry... ...OK so maybe they're not quite there just yet. But heck - if [...]
"Brewing" is a new recurring feature to let you know what's ahead in new music releases. We've had some information filter out recently about new albums due out in early 2010. It's shaping up to be a good start to the new year. Let's begin with the sophomore album from Vampire Weekend , which features the new single [...]

Pavla Kopecna All throughout Theoretical Girl's set at SxSW back in March , I was wracking my brain trying to figure out who Amy Turnnidge, she who is the central abstract idea of the band, reminded me of. This didn't keep me from enjoying her set, but it was a relief and head slap when I finally put it together a week or two later - the name I'd been trying to dig out of my memory banks was Sarah Blackwood. Not the icy electro-pop queen she now is with Client , [...]
Four Tet is everywhere these days and I cannot say that I mind. This time is remixing one of Joe Goddards' tunes. You know, he's the guy from Hot Chip. That's why it's all sounding Hot Chip-y. Out now http://www.boomkat.com/item.cf m?id=239403

Don't get too excited, there isn't a whole tour lined up or anything, but electronic dance heroes Hot Chip are teaming up with indie newcomers The xx for four shows across the U.S. and one in Canada. While not an immediately obvious pair, the two should make for an interesting show. Dark brooding minimalism in one half and upbeat dance tracks in the other. A beautiful dichotomy or a messy publicity move? You be the judge! Hot Chip – "Take It In" [MP3] The XX – "Basic Space" [MP3] [...]
