From electro curios to feted songwriters, it’s been a long strange trip for Hot Chip. And they’re just warming up.

From electro curios to feted songwriters, it’s been a long strange trip for Hot Chip. And they’re just warming up.

06 Jun 2007 - Interview

The secret to Hot Chip’s success – apart from the fact that they are pretty good – is their understanding that the chorus is key. The nagging refrain on ‘My Piano’ doesn’t quite match up to previous hits, but combined with the rolling old-school piano, lo-fi low-end and Art of Noise stabs, it works. The spazzed-out dub doffs a cap to Audion.

24 Aug 2006 - Interview

The synth-rock (or electro-indie if you like) bedroom ascetics – who heretofore brought you the charming line “I’m like Stevie Wonder, but I can see things” – have by their own acknowledgement looted the mechanical music museum, spending a lifetime distilling their record collection into manageable, tongue-in-cheek precipitates like whiskey or MSG.

25 May 2006 - REVIEW

Hot Chip are marvelous and I don’t care what you think. The world suffers a disgraceful shortage of indie-rock bands who wish they were techno heroes (Soul Wax...erm...) and Hot Chip are a welcome addition. One itsy-bitsy criticism – the song suffers a threadbare chorus. Window-lick beats and a yammering melody mean we’re prepared to forgive a lot, however.

15 May 2006 - REVIEW

Poised between the understated electro-sounds of LCD Soundsystem and the playfulness of The Chalets, London’s Hot Chip have struck gold with the lead single from new album The Warning. Like its name implies, the track makes an art out of monotony. There are no inspiring middle eights or climatic finishes. Instead, the same mid-tempo beats are slowly drummed into our heads, before its subtle end, when we wake up from our trance, dust ourselves off and walk away, oddly content.
