Over & Over has already been out a couple of weeks and if you haven't already got it BlackPlastic struggles to perceive you as a real man and suggests you get down to HMV quick smart. If for some reason you remain unconvinced then read-on to find out why Hot Chip are so great...
Hot Chip have been knocking around a while now but since supporting LCD Soundsystem last year they have become "everybody's brand new favourite band", and whilst debut LP Over & Over was released back in the hazy days of 2004 it still sounds as fresh as a Mini Milk on a hot summer's day. Fast forward to the oh-six and our friends are back with a new single and, sure enough, a new album coming in the shape of Over & Over and The Warning respectively.
Not much needs to be said but 'Over & Over' is as triumphantly bizarre as everything else Hot Chip have released, a mish-mash of punk-funk rhythms, school-yard spell-outs and insanely catchy choruses about the wonders of repetition. What's more the lyrics are frankly ace - if you haven't already read about the line "Like a monkey with a miniature cymbal / The smell of repetition really is in you" you really don't waste enough time reading the mediocre
UK music press...
Here's hoping that once The Warning drops Hot Chip get the mega-stardom they deserve...
