Hot Chip - Made in the Dark


Wow, so it's been a long time since I put a review up. I'd like to attribute that to the lack of time I found towards the end of last semester. I would like to pick it back up with this review, of Hot Chip's newest LP, Made in the Dark.
This album is great, it's got a twinge of house, but also a rock feel to it. I really appreciate this, but I can't help but have a special spot for the album's title track, "Made in the Dark". Ever since I first heard it on via Stereogum, I was plainly impressed. I really enjoy the whole album, and stand out tracks include "Ready For the Floor", "We're Looking for a Lot of Love", and "Wrestlers". Though this isn't to say the album is in any way lacking, and I was very happy to come across something of this quality considering the relative spam of amazing music we received last year. The whole album is incredibly well done, and I would earnestly encourage anyone to check it out.
