Hot Chip In Our Heads out on 6.12 Stream | MP3 | CD | Vinyl B+ Somewhere over the course of the last ten years refined electronic pop music has become something that people admire again. Of course, in the 602s and 702s it was a given that great music could come from lush synth arrangements and heartfelt lyrics. Bowie, David Byrne, Freddie Mercury. These guys were not just regarded as [...]
Por Tomás Fernández Fiks “Mucha música pop moderna es realmente materialista. Me pone feliz hablar sobre algunas cosas esencialmente buenas”. Con esas palabras Joe Goddard , cantante y frontman de Hot Chip , se refería en declaraciones recientes a la temática de su excelente nuevo disco, el quinto de su carrera, In Our Heads.

A resolutely good band with some irrefutably great songs, Hot Chip are an infinitely intriguing proposition. Prince nuts-cum-penmen of princely chart hits (see Over and Over, and Boy from School, and Ready for the Floor, and One Life Stand, and, latterly, Night and Day for indomitable proof) the only criticism one may feasibly level at the souf London outfit is that they've perhaps become too circumspect in their numbingly comfortable, cushioned quirk.pop outcrop. How, therefore, does fifth full-length In Our Heads weigh in? Well, Alexis Taylor et [...]
Hot Chip - In Our Heads By Richard Wink “I'm not a geek, I'm a unique weasel.” – Stoney, California Man Flippin’ heck time sure as hell flies, doesn’t it? Hot Chip has chalked up five albums. Nobody paid much attention to their first album when it was released in 2003; there was the odd positive review, but then a who-are-these-guys? viral video buzz erupted around ‘Over and Over’.

Hot Chip debe de ser recordado en el futuro como un conjunto de personas visionariamente creativas los cuales no solamente se fueron encargando en los ultimos años de entregarnos buenas canciones para que las pudieramos disfrutar en cualquier pista de baile, sino que tambien se preocuparon por crear un juego completo en el que la parte visual se convirtio en algo fundamental a la hora de crear videos para los sencillos que se han ido desprendiendo de sus materiales. Algo asi como lo que ha estado intentando Ok Go, solo que en esta ocasion, Hot Chip no [...]
It’s not everyday that you create a record that’s instantly accessible to pretty much any music fan, whether you’re a hardcore dance/dub fan, an indie kid, a rocker or anything else. It was impossible to ignore Hot Chip’s ‘Ready for the Floor. But since then, they have struggled to create anything with the level of appeal that monster hit had. ‘Over and Over’ was close, while ‘One Life Stand’ just couldn’t stand up against it on its own. Now we have ‘Night And Day,’ a new Hot Chip track that will again have to go in [...]

When knuckling down to the finer intricacies of classroom-based botany, there was always an endless intrigue located within the way in which evergreens would retain their spindly fingers and seasonally perfumed pines for periods of time that, at such an age, seemed just so endless. San Fran duo Seventeen Evergreen tinge such concept with finite restriction and although few artists ever muster such profuse discography (the compulsive pulses of Daniel Johnston, R. Stevie Moore, etc. aside) the wide-eyed, raging synth maelstroms of follow-up full-length Steady On, Scientist! never quite substantiate the claims of radical enterprise contained [...]

Photos by G. New Build When you take members of Hot Chip and LCD Soundsystem and you put them together, you get New Build. When you put New Build on their first New York stage (on March 13, 2012 at Mercury Lounge), you get a way sold out show! Demand for tickets was so high, in fact, a second show has been added (for March 14, 2012). As you can expect from the description, when you merge members of these two great bands together and you get another [...]
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 [...]
As the members of Hot Chip continue to expand their horizons beyond the group we're learning the areas in which each excels. For Joe Goddard, that seems to be vocal-clad house music with the double jointed rhythms of UK garage. Following on his well received and benevolently remixed single "Gabriel," Goddard has remixed the track "After You're Gone" by his compatriot, producer/vocalist Tyson. In his hands the track is moody and driven from behind by a purring bass line, an assortment of shakers orbiting around Tyson's vocals like a swarm of insects. Despite the interwoven synth leads and [...]
[DFA] Joe Goddard's (of Hot Chip fame) original "Gabriel" was the kind of indeterminate broken beat banger you might expect from someone who hails from an "indie dance" band: a little too careful, maybe a little too slow, but delicious all the same. Its hook comes from the vocal, thankfully forgoing the soul diva trope and choosing a tortured, genuinely impained squawk from Valentina instead. It's the kind of thing destined for a bunch [...]
What a delightful little indie tune. I hear the strumming of acoustic guitar strings accompanied by a slapping drum beat, with the occasional 8-bit sound effect chucked in for good measure. Cue the nasal sounding English accent and obligatory reverb. There you have the perfect recipe for a jolly indie-electro tune, aka "Flea Market". Near the end we're graced with Jamie T-style chatting amongst the last chorus and middle eight. This song is a good un', but conforms to too many indie stereotypes to be considered amazingly brilliant. His lyrics are cleverly alternative and interesting en... Read more..

I've been waxing lyrical about this debut from Shit Robot since I got my first listen, but now its out on general release I though it would be worthwhile putting my thoughts into prose a little better. As a man about to turn 40, Marcus Lambkin has found his sound. It's a sound that many will associate with many of his stablemates at DFA (the name actually comes from a rather shit drawing James Murphy did of a robot), but few outside LCD Soundsystem have managed to create something this [...]

Coachella 2010. Wow. What a great year. Like my flatmate was telling me today, at Coachella and other great festivals alike, you just start imagining strings connecting all of us. Strings of bodies from all over this world bound and connected by music for this magnificent weekend each year. Coachella is a world unto itself. This weekend is filled with good music, vibrant energy, worldly generosity and with the help of drugs or not, there is this feeling of inexplicable happiness, indescribable joy and overwhelming emotion when you're with all these [...]

The Tape
The TapeLCD Soundsystem and Hot Chip are basically brothers. LCD's a little bit more mature and composed, but definitely knows how to party. Hot Chip has more quirk, and an identity defined by shenanigans. It makes sense then, to find the two bands in the same place at the same time. It even allows dual band [...]
