Oooooh. New Hot Chip album is coming! February of next year, according to their site and the first single is the same as the album's title, One Life Stand . So how does this one sound? Well, this all depends on what you think of Hot Chip. These are guys that make solid blippy electro pop that simply makes you want to groove. If you don't want to groove? You're probably white. But that's okay. I'm not here to judge you. That's what your mother is for. Here's One Life Stand, their newest single. [...]

I was reading an article in the Grauniad the other day , which mentioned a little studio under Putney Bridge. I thought to myself "I've walked past that!". And so my curiosity was rather piqued about the subject of the article, The Xx. Living about five minutes from that studio, on the north side of the River Thames, in a charming if somewhat musically bereft suburb 1 , I've always looked a bit enviously at the south side, where such luminaries as Hot Chip and Burial are from, and Grace Jones now lives (seriously, I've been [...]

Hot Chip - Made in the Dark [Astralwerks] --As a listener, it's equally hard not to feel the love. With Hot Chip, it now feels like the right time to commit--

F im de ano e todas a publicações dão uma de Nick Hornby e montam suas listinhas de melhores lançamentos dos últimos 12 meses. Assim como feito no ano passado, aqui estão os discos lançados em 2008 que mais fizeram minha cabeça seguida de uma comparação com os que mais tocavam em meu CD Player 10 anos atrás. Como neste ano tá muito mais fácil escolher as melhores músicas que melhores albuns [só olhar que, ou contrário do que costuma acontecer, o top da Rolling Stone , NME , Mojo , Pitchfork e Spin [...]
På en eller anden måde synes jeg at det var lettere at opstille de 10 bedste albums i 2007. Om det er fordi der ikke er udkommet ligeså gode albums i år skal jeg ikke kunne sige, men jeg tror egentlig grunden til det er at jeg har lyttet til mange flere plader i år end tilfældet var sidste år. I år synes jeg også at der er kommet mange gode danske albums, hvilket gør at jeg har kastet mig ud i en separat top 5 over danske albums. Udenlandske 1. Vampire [...]
The holiday season is upon us, which for any self-respecting music writer means making end-of-the-year lists. I, like many a blogger, live for this kind of year-end reflection, so this will be the first of many lists. Here before you are the absolute 25 best music videos of the year 2008 . All the videos are embedded below for easy viewing, but I highly recommend you watch the higher quality version, which you can view (if available) by clicking on the song title. Except for the five at the end (the best of [...]
Hot Chip have spent much of the last 12 months compounding their status as one of the hardest working bands around. Apart from numerous musical side projects, remixing duties and running a record label, they have had sold-out tours in the UK, Europe and the US. Watch "Ready For The Floor" video : Now the band are set to return to the US for a second tour this Fall. Vampire Weekend , Growing , Drums Of Death , IO [...]
Over the past week I've cultivated a few new refined tastes in my life. Right now the one I'm enjoying the most is a certain elderly video by out good friends Hot Chip. While the video for Ready for the Floor has been around for a while now it just was sprung upon me a [...]
Wow, it's a good time to be Hot Chip, no? Were there ever a Napoleon Dynamite-esque message to "just be yourself and you'll succeed", we truly need look no further than the career of these fellas. Today's download is an audience or soundboard recording from a recent live show, and a damn good one at that. Their geeky magic is definitely captured. Hot Chip @ Paradiso 3/13/08
The hot ticket over the weekend was for Hot Chip 's gig at Terminal 5 -- anyone see them? We've got a review of the show coming your way in a little while. Until then, here's a video for their latest single, "Ready for the Floor," a colorful mix of their clever electro-pop with Batman villains.
So have you designed a glow-in-the-dark hot chip t-shirt yet? Only a couple weeks left, better hurry! Interesting little co-marketing between one of the hottest bands and a t-shirt company catering directly to the 'ironic t-shirt' crowd. I have one threadless shirt my brother got me, the 'transit system heart/lungs' subway map. [...]

Here is the video for "Ready for the Floor" which was the first single from the new album: [...]

Here's this week's overblogged music heroes - some old ass looking dudes who are now the hottest thing on the blogosphere since Vampire Weekend: Now I just noticed a couple of things in this vid: The singer is sounding AWFULLY nervous. Dude, it's just Jimmy Kimmel. Chill. Is it just me, or are Godley and Creme (of 10CC fame) now members of the band? It just does my heart good, and gives [...]

Moving from the bedroom to the studio, Hot Chip might have matured, but don't think they still won't take the gloves off. Hot Chip talks to PopMatters about their stellar record.
Hot Chip's third album offers moments of sparkling pop-dance perfection -- and some unexpectedly emotional material as well.
Hot Chip @ Highline Ballroom, NYC - Feb 2, 2008 ( ballulah ) Hot Chip was perfect last night (Feb 2, 2008). I've seen them a few times, and this show was by far my favorite one, and without a doubt the best. The sound at Highline Ballroom was incredible. No technical difficulites. The lights were great. The crowd was having a good time and actually dancing. The band was into it. They played a nice mix of old and new songs, and they all [...]
