Hot Chip - One Life Stand

Released: 01/02/2010 EMI

The London electro group have a frontman who rocks the librarian-chic look, sings softly and dances in an un-self-consciously fey fashion. So, they're basically Napoleon Dynamite with an incredibly hip record collection. Getting Charles Hayward of 1970s experimentalists This Heat to guest isn't bad a bad credential either.

MachineGun | 17.March.2010 | 19:17 | ReportLet's do it quickly: "Made in the Dark" was really a great album, I had too high expectations I guess. But "One Life Stand" is a very good record, with killer songs like "Thieves in the Night", "I Feel Better", "We Have Love" and "Take It In".
