after One Life Stand

When was the last time you lis­tened to your Hot Chip tracks..?

I know I’ve neglected them for awhile. Ready For The Floor was one of the most over­played songs remixed and deformed into a bazil­lion ren­di­tions on a bazil­lion indie clubs that even­tu­ally made its way to shit­tier and shit­tier clubs before it was even­tu­ally every­where and I came this [ ] close to delet­ing that track entirely from my com­puter… but theeen along came One Life Stand! I was so pleased because they’ve finally found a way to still sound ulti­mately Hot Chip; still dancy, still catchy, still repet­i­tive, but with a refresh­ing twist of je ne sais quoi that’s enough to reawaken my long lost love for them. Lis­ten and you can prob­a­bly visu­al­ize their slow but sure babysteps towards a harder, bet­ter, faster, stronger Hot Chip.

Here are a few tracks off the new album for you, they will rape your ears and you prob­a­bly won’t resist. Watch out for the fun trop­i­cal beat inserts in One Life Stand, the epic build-up open­ing to Thieves In The Night (if it sounds famil­iar it’s because it’s already spread­ing like some kind of STD as we speak), the chaos in Take It In as well as the breezy light­heart­ed­ness of Alley Cats that’s per­fect for cold days dream­ing of Spring.
