Hot Chip: In Our Heads CD

I kinda wrote off Hot Chip after The Warning. It wasn’t theband itself, it was more like everyone got on their new wavist / britpopulist revivalist train and I had to jump to Storage Wars.Fast forward 8 years(!) since their debut and the water temperaturehas changed. People who haven’t been talking about Hot Chip are backat it again, maybe we’re ready for another dose of that minisculefront man who is known to wear Hulk gloves and sings like aclassically trained bully target. Yeah, I uploaded this into myiTunes… it’s sounding pretty sweet jumping from bouncy to ballad-yin a emotional 80s type way. 10 tracks in all.
