  Mr. T to Paul McCartney: Hot Chip Reveal What's In Their Heads

  June 22, 2012 – Hot Chip's talent lies in distilling dance music bliss into compact, bittersweet pop songs. The Londoners' fifth LP, In Our Heads, contains the electro ensemble's most mature and ambitious jams, but maintains the group's trademark levity. Alexis Taylor's kinda-rap during the breakdown of lead single "Night and Day" assures us that Hot Chip is still down to get a little goofy (as does the song's Mr. T reference). …

• Hot Chip, 'In Our Heads' (Domino)

  June 12, 2012 – The bizarre video for "Night and Day," the first single off Hot Chip's fifth album, shows you what to expect. Amid an elastic bass line, black and white spaceships (manned by Reggie Watts and supermodel Lara Stone) zip toward a temple which houses a crowned egg guarded by Chippendales dancers and hooded monks chanting and flailing in ceremony, awaiting their cosmic visitors. …

  Hear Hot Chip's Goofy, Sweaty 'Night and Day'

  April 18, 2012 – "I like Zapp not Zappa," a Hot Chip member pronounces, backed by a down-pitched goblin version of himself, about two-thirds of the way through the gawky London party starters' wiggly new dance-pop single, "Night and Day." Although assuredly said with tongue at least halfway in cheek, it's a statement that bears a little unpacking: Do two brainy wits with broad-minded record collections and considerable verge-of-the-mainstream renown rea …

  Control Voltage's Friday Five

  April 6, 2012 – I’d hoped to spend this week talking about the new Pepe Bradock EP, the first in a trilogy from the extraordinary French house producer (and his first new solo material since 2009). But I'm still waiting for my copy of the record to arrive, so that'll have to wait until next week. …

  Hot Chip Unveil Tour Dates, New 'Flutes' Video

  March 16, 2012 – Hot Chip's new album In Our Heads won't be here until June 12, but the British dance-poppers are already looking ahead to the summer. "Flutes," the first track from the group's upcoming debut for Domino (and follow-up to 2010's One Life Stand), is euphoric 21st-century disco that stretches out for nearly eight sun-baked minutes, with deceptively bittersweet lyrics. …

  Simian Mobile Disco Preview New LP, 'Unpatterns'

  March 6, 2012 – Journalistic ethics prevent me from doing much in the way of covering Simian Mobile Disco, or at least I’m required to disclose that the U.K. duo once included one of my tracks in their mix CD Is Fixed (#humblebrag). So feel free to consider me biased when I tell you that I'm excited about SMD’s forthcoming album Unpatterns, due May 14 on Wichita Recordings. …
