Hot Chip – One Life Stand (Review)

Hot Chip

One Life Stand

Released by Astralwerks


Eight tracks deep into One Life Stand, Hot Chip delivers "We Have Love." I doubt you'll read anywhere that "We Have Love" is the standout moment on what is a decidedly solid album, but the song bears mention because it is the aural equivalent of Alvin & The Chipmunks' brains... on the Prodigy. That's the (as yet unmentioned) winning formula that makes Hot Chip, and One Life Stand in particular, palatable for such a widely diverse audience. Their electronic sensibilities appeal to danceheads, and yet the hyperkinesis is gentle enough to evoke the huggable nature of childhood ADHD. Slow-burner "Keep Quiet," allegedly a response to the guys being moved by Susan Boyle's dramatic turn on Britain's Got Talent, brings to mind the moody atmospherics of Massive Attack and Sneaker Pimps.

A Hot Minute with Hot Chip

You're Welcome, America

It’s been ten years of making addictive dance floor tunes and winning videos, and it sounds like these guys still have their priorities right. Before the holidays, URB spoke with Goddard to hear the good word.

Hot Chip “One Life Stand” (Carl Craig Remix) (MP3)

Whoever made the decision to utilize Carl Craig as the techno remixer dujour ( it was probably James Murphy) made the right decision. Not only does the Detroit legend continually offer up the tightest remixes out there, but they allow the jazz-leaning producer to get back to his pure techno roots more often than he might do on his own.

BTW – the version of “One Life Stand” is titled the PCP Remix, which for those who don’t know, stands for Paperclip People, one of Craig’s most beloved alter-egos.
