Hot Chip

Made In The Dark
EMI

An album of admirable ambition and scope that is largely executed well. It ought to announce Hot Chip as leaders of the bazillion other eighties revival electro pop bands, but doesn’t. Frontman Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards is just too annoying and you soon realise that this is pretentious ‘pop as art’ music that, ultimately, sounds sexless and hollow. If they wrote songs from their cocks as well as their heads, they might be onto something.
