André Gomes Mais uma voltinha, mais um disco de grandes canções. Olhando para trás, é difícil não isolar One Life Stand como um objecto algo atípico no percurso de Hot Chip. Primeiro porque tirou um pouco o pé do acelerador e afastou-se das pistas de dança; segundo porque funcionou como uma espécie de tomada de posição: provou que os Hot Chip não são apenas uma máquina de êxitos dançáveis e safou-se à grande nesse papel. One Life Stand [...]
Stereogum The central conflict of Hot Chip's video "Don't Deny Your Heart" involves a good old-fashioned tour bus FIFA rivalry, though this particular match goes to a place where I've never seen a FIFA match go (did they download a special patch?). Peter Serafinowicz directs. Watch it below. Read More... [...]
Stereogum A couple of weeks ago, we posted Major Lazer's fiery EDM-reggae remix of Hot Chip's lovely synthpop lament " Look At Where We Are ." Now Four Tet has remixed it too, taking the song in the exact opposite direction and turning it into a spare and haunted eight-minute love-koan that gets busier as it rolls on. There isn't a producer alive who does a better job fusing dance-music thump to jittery organic jazz. Hear the Four Tet remix below. Read More... [...]
Stereogum Hot Chip's new video for "How Do You Do?," a jittery roller-disco jam from their new album In Our Heads , is pretty much fun with green-screen and light-filters. It shows the band, along with various unrelated scenery, transposed against non-sequitur backgrounds and glowing all sorts of different colors. Rollo Jackson directs, and the song, it bears mentioning, is just insanely catchy. Watch it below. Read More... [...]
Stereogum The rumored Coachella cruise is on, scheduled for two voyages - a three-day trip aboard the Celebrity Silhouette to the Bahamas and a four-day trip to Jamaica (both cruises will leave from Fort Lauderdale). The lineup features Pulp, Hot Chip, Sleigh Bells, James Murphy, Girl Talk, Yeasayer, Grimes, Cloud Nothings and more, as well as a few others that haven't been announced yet. It's also got an official Twitter feed too, @sscoachella , so stay posted there and ss.coachella.com for updates as [...]
Stereogum We heard the Major Lazer remix yesterday, and now Hot Chip's elegant synthpop elegy "Look At Where We Are" has a music video from Animal Collective visual collaborator Danny Perez . In the ambiguous, hallucinatory clip, a mad scientist experiments on a supermodel's soul, or something. It's not exactly the most linear narrative you'll ever see. Check it out below. Read More...

Stereogum On their remix of Hot Chip's " Look At Where We Are ," Major Lazer take the sensitive, starry-eyed synthpop of the original and inject it with both lilting summertime one-drop reggae and cheesed-out populist bass-fuzz EDM, which is quite a trick. Your mileage may vary, but I'd say the song comes out all the better for it. Hear the remix below. Read More... [...]
Stereogum Hot Chip stopped by Zane Lowe's BBC 1 show for a live session recently, performing tracks from their forthcoming In Our Heads as well as covering Prince's 1987 hit " If I Was Your Girlfriend ." The cover happens at the 1:19:50 mark at BBC's website (via NJ Underground ). In Our Heads is out 6/12 on Domino . [...]
