Yeah you do… that guy who did the voice for Darth Maul… the ****head housemate from Sean of the Dead… looks a bit like a cross between Tony Slattery and Marcus Mumford. Well, after his short lived run with the imaginitively titled ‘The Peter Serafinowicz’ show on the BBC, he has been allowed to run amok with Hot Chip’s new video for their track ‘I Feel Better’, taken from their latest album, ‘One Life Stand’. What can you expect?How about good old INRI [or maybe V'ger] firin’ his lazer and melting some boy bands.

The album itself is a return to their previous form, mixing heavily electronic beats and samples with roomy, live sounding instruments at will, but always with delicate care and attention, Baroque sounding string synths, trashy Pixies-esque drum kits, steel drums, marimbas[?], vocoders [ sorry Justin ;-) ], and flagrantly dance sounding bass lines nestle in together under the distinctive semi-falsetto vocals rising above the tracks, blending elements of electronic music from the last two decades together in a disctinctively stylish way.

Hot Chip may not have the bass-thumping force of other electronic acts like Simian Mobile Disco and the Chemical Brothers, but this album drips energy and musicality. Check out the video of the album’s title track they’ve posted on their Dino-space – if you like it you might consider catching them on their current tour, visiting most regions of the UK before moving on to Europe and America, full listings below.

You can also pre-order the album from their website, getting yourself a free bonus track in the process (but sadly obviating the need for a digital distributor, ho hum…)

Check up with them ‘soon’ for a tracklisting.

    ‘One Life Stand’ is a full-blooded leap into the unknown, an album that is awash with Hot Chip’s trademark creative bravery and a searing emotional intensity from first track to last. Indeed, ‘One Life Stand’ is by far and away Hot Chip’s most complete body of work to date, an album that is more cohesive and more soulful than 2007’s ambidextrous ‘Made In The Dark’ and more ambitious than 2005’s Mercury nominated and Grammy award nominated ’The Warning’, ‘One Life Stand’ is an album that establishes Hot Chip as one of the most relevant and creative bands of our era.
