36. – HOT CHIP – IN OUR HEADS
Wow. Album number five already? Time does zip by. This album
zips about too. Hot Chip are truly a great band that need to be celebrated.
While they haven’t ever 100% blown me away with their shit – this is actually
their first entry on my blog unbelievably – I feel this is right up there with
their best material. Some bands cannot be ignored. Consistent disco dynamite.
They first really started to resonate when I went to a house
party in Miami for Halloween – at least I think it was! – in 2006. “Over and
Over” off The Warning was a stand-out
track that really made me dance on my heels. Not high-heels. But then, sometimes
there a few tracks off that album, and the next two, that didn’t hit home so well.
I think that that’s their issue sometimes.;they’re so immediate. But subtlety was never
their shtick. I’ve grown to learn how to take Hot Chip; at face value. They were buzzed about too much, but now they’ve
been left alone, In Our Heads does
precisely that, get inside the noggin to get that foot tappin.’ Maybe not a perfect album band but still, a great collection of songs from a top, top band.
BEST PLAYED: To
beat your indifference towards life.
