Hot Chip Artist Snapshot:

While Hot Chip were one of many bands from the early 2000s to have adopted an electro-pop sound, they stand apart from the pack both for their melodicism and for their fully live, band-oriented approach to the genre. Shortly after emerging from their London, England, bedrooms--a delightful synth-driven sound fully formed--they were rewarded with an indie record deal in their home country (resulting in their critically lauded 2004 debut COMING ON STRONG, released in the States on the respected DFA label) and some crucial festival exposure. Their 2006 major-label follow-up, THE WARNING, charted high in the U.K. and garnered the band an enthusiastic U.S. following.

Title Note

Nearly 20 years on from the infamous 'Disco Demolition Night' at Chicago's Comiskey Park--a rally that forever etched the phrase "disco sucks" into the American consciousness--an unexpected alliance has been struck between the indie-pop world and the more synthetic, mechanized strains of dance music. Leading firebrands in this renaissance, the New York production duo DFA, have teamed up with U.K. ensemble Hot Chip for their latest effort, WARNING.

Hot Chip vocalist Joe Goddard's disaffected monotone provides a cool contrast to Alexis Taylor's lilting falsetto, a strategy that pays off on the driving "And I Was A Boy From School." The typically raw DFA production emphasizes rhythmic nuance over pop polish--this is stylized, minimal dance pop in the tradition of Pet Shop Boys and New Order. On more downtempo efforts like the gentle "Colours," the music lends room to Taylor's delicate but affecting voice, showcasing Hot Chip's promise as more than just a flavor-of-the-moment indie dance act.
