Description
Hot Chip: Alexis Taylor, Joe Goddard.
Additional personnel: Felix Martin, Owen Clarke.
Recording information: The Bunker, Brooklyn, NY (2005).
London duo Alexis Taylor and Joe Goddard make up Hot Chip. Their debut full-length's combination of high-tech and lo-fi, organic and electronic, danceable and languorous, made it one of the most distinctive new arrivals of 2005. Imagine Low covering Mystikal, or Beck on valium, or perhaps New Order smothering Nick Drake with a chloroform-soaked handkerchief, and you'll have the basic gist of COMING ON STRONG. Murmured vocals mix indie-rock sensibilities and just barely ironic hip-hop tropes as gentle guitars and mellow synths foreground lightly skittering loops that sound like Bronski Beat kicking the stuffing out of Belle & Sebastian on a damp London afternoon.
