The eagerly awaited new album of Hot Chip, “Made in the Dark”, does not fail to impress. Despite the fact, in general, electronic music is going through a particularly uncreative time, the group Hot Chip have successfully produced a collection of tunes that is exactly the cure that any Monday morning commuter requires before heading into work. Or indeed just the ingredient needed on a Friday night before heading out. Hot Chip are as impressive when they are blasting out a prospective top-ten chart buster as when they are striving to do something a little more underground, such as “Don‘t Dance”. This is a track that, in its middle-part at least, takes me back to the dance anthems of the late 1990s and early 2000s. If played in a club in the early morning, this is the type of classic that is sure to even wake the drunk that has fallen asleep on a lounge next to the dance floor. 7.5/10 |
