iTunes Review
Since releasing their excellent 2004 full-length debut, Coming On Strong, the British outfit Hot Chip has been known for creating electro-pop with a difference. The group writes awesome melodies and deft rhythm tracks, and they craft thoughtful lyrics. In addition, Alexis Taylor and Joe Goddard have voices that are far from anonymous: you sense the humanity more than the software in this music. 2010’s One Life Stand is a more mature work than 2006’s The Warning and 2008’s Made In the Dark, both of which are superb. While the band doesn’t completely abandon the dance floor, they venture into new territory here. One standout, “Alley Cats,” is not unlike earlier efforts, but there’s a newfound mellowness in the air. “Slush” is unlike anything they’ve ever recorded; it comes off like warped doo-wop or a reimagining of an old ballad. Charles Hayward, the great drummer from This Heat, plays and sings on the track, and melancholy steel drums appear on the song’s coda. The album includes the band discussing the recording process, and a remix of the title cut by techno legend Carl Craig.
Customer Reviews
Take it In!
Hot Chip is a british electro-pop collective and this is their 4th album, you may know these guys from their remixes, they've been sought after by Gorillaz, Amy Winehouse, and even New Order. These guys have come quite a way since their 2004 debut "Coming on Strong", singing about Hawiian shirts and "20-inch rims" in proper english accent. "One Life Stand" finds Hot Chip getting in touch with their melancholy sophistipop side. really making these guys the thinking man's dance band. "Thieves In The Night" serves as a great opener layering synth after synth until fading away into Alexis Taylor's haunting vocals. Although the standout track here would have to be the title track, with one of the wittiest lines I've heard this year, "I only wanna be your one life stand", very clever. The closer "Take it In" also takes it's place as one of Hot Chip's best, with it's dreamy anthemic chrous. Hot Chip do stumble on here though, the appropiately named "Slush" is just that, a mess of piano and synths that really doesn't end up going anywhere, the droning on "Brothers" also doesn't add anything to the album except a few minutes. Yet, "One Life Stand" is still a good album, this thing will get you dancing and lamenting past lovers in no time.
STANDOUT TRACKS: "One Life Stand", "Thieves In The Night", "Take It In"
Lackluster
Doesn't live up to their previous albums....where did the energy and fun lyrics go?
Amazing band!
This is great music!
