Hot Chip - The Warning

[matt]

i was a big fan of their first album but if they haven't just gone and raised the bar for their sophomore effort

this must have leaked extremely early as i've had it for almost 2 months now but it's only out in the shops this week and it's great to finally get my hand on the originals rather than the mp3's that have wormed their way into my heart over the last few weeks

easily my album of the year so far and hard pushed to see it being topped - they've gone more dancefloor friendly with this album but there's still much beautiful music to be found here admist the hip-hop beats & electronic rave bleeps

you've probably heard the infectious 'over & over' and stunning current single 'boy from school' and there's plenty more gems to be found on the album

not to be missed

i had that "colours" song stuck in my head for a whole day once....it's just too damn catchy....

soemtimes, however, it gets a bit too 'shrill' for my taste (if you know what i mean)

i missed them at sonar last year, but they are playing again this year, so maybe i'll catch them this time around.

i, too, have been listening to this for several weeks and really liking it. i hope i get a chance to see them this summer.

the two songs (and i guess singles) over and over and boys from school both rock my socks! i'm a big fan of these two. i have had the pre-release for 2 months now and am still diggign it too. although some parts are a bit nerve raking for me

i don't know.sound a bit tired to me,neither rocking it dance/production-wise nor really good songs.can't see them breaking out of the style press "one to watch".while not sounding the same it puts me in mind of bentleys and some of those acts that were around at the birth of big beat !

I can't quite get my head around these guys. I like this album quite a bit, but I've come up just shy of loving it. Their sound is a bit like a twist between LCD Soundsystem and the Postal Service (with some extra electronic synthyness thrown in). I really like the second half of the album, especially No Fit State.

I saw them on the Lowlands festival and really liked the performance. Got "The Warning" and I'm really liking it. Look After Me is beautiful.

i dont like much of it aside from "careful", which i really dig.
the rest is too geeked-out, consistently squanders its own energy by failing to provide either decent beats or an engaging complement to them
