Two years after the widely acclaimed ‘Made In The Dark’, British Electropopband Hot Chip return with the follow up ‘One Life Stand’. With this album, Hot Chip have created another widescreen pop masterpiece. An album that seeps through to your soul while defiantly striking a pose (albeit in a jumper and glasses) in the middle of the dance floor called Now!
Indeed, Hot Chip have an uncanny knack of creating great tunes, from the bruising ‘Over and Over’ and the dizzying ‘Boy From School’ to 2008’s ubiquitous top 10 smash ‘Ready For The Floor’, Alexis, Joe, Felix, Al and Owen have constantly pushed the boundaries of what pop music can be and new album ‘One Life Stand’ is no exception.
Single and lead track ‘One Life Stand’ is for instance a masterful 3 minute wonder that will surely sit alongside the very best in the annals of contemporary pop music.
Hot Chip have always been equally adept at producing floor fillers alongside songs of intimacy and melancholy and with ‘One Life Stand’ they have pulled off the rare trick of executing both at the same time. Many songs are lyrically declaring a personal and tender message within the confines of a tune that is infectious, deeply danceable, fortified and ready for the dancefloor.
