You may have heard their Bear Hug EP over the summer, but today their debut full-length Be Strong is released via DFA Records.

Always a somewhat problematic predicament is the side-project: whether it arouses foreseeable, feasible tensions or indicates endemic issues with the collaborative creativity of the artist(s) involved, it's a term sullied by multitudinous howlers. Last year's pairing up of Lou Reed and Metallica provided an example as unequivocal as any as to why sticking to the day job, however dirgy or dreary it may be, is an unadventurous direction that should sometimes be followed. It was largely regarded as the defecating on and defacing of not one but two illustrious legacies and the potential perils and jagged-toothed traps around [...]

It's been a while since I've listened to them, largely because I don't think there's been much new stuff of theirs floating about. They are due a new album though, which is going to be released at some point this year. For now we've got a new song to listen to called 'No Fit State'. It's classic Hot Chip, with a four-on-the-floor beat, Alexis and Joe Goddard trading vocals and the synths sitting very nicely in the track thankyouplease. Hot Chip - No Fit State [...]

The 2 Bears - Be Strong By Jim Merrett A GSOH might be a prerequisite for a lonely-hearts ad, but in the music industry it won't get you very far. Everyone wants to be taken seriously, so a po-face, skinny jeans and stick-on council estate accent is in, a bear suit is definitely out. But if there's one music genre that knows how to have a good time, it's dance. And of course this arena is not alien to novelty either. No doubt thanks to the availability of [...]

"an enjoyable, fun but hardly classic album..." The 2 Bears | Be Strong The 2 Bears - a duo made up of Hot Chip's Joe Goddard and London DJ Raf Rundell that has now spawned an LP and a Ministry of Sound radio show – have had to wait a while to get their debut album to us, after forming back in 2009. Both posses busy schedules when their day jobs are live and kicking but with Goddard's band mates Alexis Taylor (solo career) and Al Doyle (LCD Soundsystem) also involved in other projects [...]

By Bruce Rave It might be awhile before we get a new Hot Chip album, but The 2 Bears might not be a bad way to hold on. This is a collaboration between Hot Chip's Joe Goddard and M. Rafi of Metronomy. A couple of listens, and I'm hooked on the hooks. Trusted sources are telling me the entire album is really good, and I wanna hear it! The 2 Bears - Work [...]

Despite Hot Chip having a new album pretty much recorded, Joe Goddard continues his restless streak of the last year or two in which he has given us production for DELS, this solo banger and bubblin' under, The 2 Bears - a project he shares with Greco-Roman Soundystem's Raf Daddy. The 2 Bears debut album Be Strong is out this month after a year or so of OK to interesting singles. The house-tinged 'Work' however is an absolute standout from an album that runs the gamut of dance and electronica. I also [...]

The 2 Bears, in not so many words, are pretty fucking rad. Raf Rundell and Joe Goddard have a good thing going as The 2 Bears and it seems as though they are going from strength to strength. With their strange yet fantastically addictive 'Bear Hug' and now new 'Work' I have a good feeling [...]

![[EP] Joe Goddard – "Gabriel" (feat. Valentina)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3961429_lg.jpg)
the sum of all the parts that you have taken are a fraction of the parts that make me whole ♫ Joe Goddard - Gabriel (feat. Valentina) [Original Mix] Joe Goddard's Gabriel EP is only three tracks but when you are dealing with one of the Hot Chip frontmen that's all that's needed to lay down some serious song. The guy's last solo album, Harvest Festival , meandered a bit and didn't really sink in but this [...]
After the shamanistic beat session that was Verboten in NYC the other night for new years, pretty much all I can think about is deep house. So that's what you're about to get. Not all these tracks are necessarily thaaat new, but I think they're all straight up great and I suspect after a listen you'll feel the same way too. Allow me to introduce, Tanner Ross.
