I'll admit it, I love Hot Chip. Their first few albums failed to really grab me, but there was so much heat around them that I figured I'd give Made In The Dark a shot and, brother, that sure as hell grabbed me. I can still listen to "Ready For The Floor" and have as much fun as I did the first time I heard it. It's songs like "Wrestlers" though that really demonstrates what sets Hot Chip apart. Sure, their more upbeat songs are fun, but it's when they slow it down that lead singer Alexis Taylor's voice comes shining through. Throw in some great, creative lyrics and you have a great song.
Their new single, the first proper single from their upcoming album In Our Heads, is more "Shake A Fist" than "Wrestlers." It has the beat to get the toe tapping, but lacks layers beyond that really. It's fun, but not a lot more than fun. You can listen to it at Soundcloud, here
