Hot Chip are easily one of the coolest electro-pop bands out there. This quintet from London are experts at crafting music with catchy guitar riffs and quirky electronic beats. In their new single “One Life Stand” this order hasn’t changed at all. They still maintain everything about their older music that makes it fun loving, danceable and electronically charged.
What I like is that they always manage to inject a subtle hint of 80’s electronic dance music, while still maintaining their indie roots. It could be their smooth accelerated bass lines, Alexis Taylor’s croon or maybe just the all around danceability of their music. But it harks back to an era when electronic dance music started getting the notoriety it deserved.
This will no doubt be one of the more upbeat tracks off their upcoming fourth album which will be titled the same as this song. Watch out for the album to drop sometime in the first quarter of ‘10. Which i like the way Hot Chip explains it in an interview with NME – “There will be a new album, set for release in early parts of next year, to warm the cockles of your soul right in the middle of the bleak mid-winter.”
