Hot Chip

Get some of your best friends or some not so familiar people, some alcohol and maybe some smokes, make your way to the beach at night, light a fire and turn Hot Chip loud up on your portable Hi-Fi... you'll get the perfect mood to have junky, non-sense conversations, or just some serious chat with someone, laugh until you puke or just wash away your sorrows in the arms of someone. It may seem strange, but Hot Chip really sounds versatile enough to fit a lot of different people, just enough to conquer anyone who dares to hear them closely!

Hot Chip is one of London's most twisted electronic experimental postmodern buzz bands. They supported LCD Soundsystem on their December tour and are now supporting Goldfrapp througout February. For some people they might seem way too weird, for others, just some fucked up total genious! They're unique, and somehow I can't even really think of something like them. It's a Beck-meets-LCD Soundsystem-and-The Juan Mclean stravaganza with some geniously made lyrics. With already one full-lengh album named "Coming On Strong" with great songs like 'Playboy', one of the best tracks in the album and, in my opinion, an example of the weirdest, pop-indie songs ever made, along side with 'Crap Craft Dinner' and 'Shining Escalade' or 'Bad Luck', this album became a reference for experimental sounds. They released some EP's since 2001... "Mexico", "San Francisco E-Pee", "Hittin' Skittles/Back to the Future" and "Down With Prince", and more recently, "The Barbarian", that came along with the CD-Single of 'Over and Over', the can't-take-this-music-outta-my-head type of song, and the video of this song got released this year.. directed by Nima Nourizadeh,quite well I'd say, all I can say about it is... "fuck!.. they're wacko's!". The video's just non-sense funny crap all the way, and I loved it.

Basicly, you'll get from this band what you never expected to hear so far. Besides having finished their second album, to be released really soon, there's also a lot of Hot Chip DJ work around and they even released "Hot Chip! They Remix", a 5-fan-exclusive remixed compilation of great songs from huge bands such as Franz Ferdinand, Sia, Architecture in Helsinki, Ladytron or Scissor Sisters. And I think one day they'll be the highlight of experimental music. Well, try and give it a listen, you won't get upset about it!
