Really, this one needs no explanation.
Everyone who knows Hot Chip loves them, and everyone else is just waiting to love them on hearing them.
Their music just gets better and better, as does their live show.
Yes, I am an unabashed fan of Hot Chip, but how could I not love them when I saw their first show at Rothko a number of years ago? Five guys standing in a line on stage, behind keyboards and drum machines, all singing in harmony, while simply blasting the hell out of us in the audience and making us dance. Magic.
This track, a subtle, mostly acoustic affair, (not unlike some of their early, hard-to-find material like "So Free" or live staple "Laws of Salvation") is the lead-in for their third and newest album, Made In The Dark, which comes out February 5th. Details on the album and touring news is available on their myspace page and check the official Hot Chip site for their blog. Pre-order the album here.
Buy it. I know it will be worth every penny.
