Photograph by Bevis Martin and Charlie Youle Hot Chip are back, and they're much the same as they've always been. The past year has found them covering both Vampire Weekend and Joy Division, so the time is ripe for some original material. One Life Stand was billed as a slightly more downtempo album after the exuberance of Made in the Dark , and while there are moments where the band experiments with some new styles, the title track finds them remaining within the confines of their familiar bouncy electro-dance rock. While I fully [...]

Hey remember Hot Chip, that quirky electro dance band that always keeps it silly and fun?

The UK masters of the fun dance jams Hot Chip returned this week with their latest release titled One Life Stand. As anyone who has heard their records before or seen their live show knows, no band really infuses a fun vibe into their music and genuinely seems to be loving what they are doing any more than these guys, and that great trend continues once again on this fine effort. The record is still brand new, so this could change, but though I'm not sure that it has the instantly recognizable surefire dance floor hits that the [...]

Can you fall in love and still be ready for the floor? Indeed. What booty-shaking points Hot Chip loses, they gain in album cohesion. A record about unabashed love (for you, me, their brothers…) plays out with more gravity than you'd guess and more dancing than you'd dare hope.

It looks like another great week for new releases. The highlight for me this week was easily Yeasayer's Odd Blood . I think this is a great album and a worthy followup to their debut. The album might not be as instant, but with continued listens it will prove to be great. This I can guarantee. I can also recommend Massive Attack's Heligoland ( although P4k doesn't ). I mean it's freaking Massive Attack, they're not going to put out a shit album. To be honest [...]
