Hot Chip – Made In The Dark (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
London's Hot Chip had already built a devoted following through restless, emotionally honest dance-pop, but Made In The Dark was the moment their cult status cracked open into something wider. Alexis Taylor and Joe Goddard's instinct for pairing melancholy with euphoria, introspective lyrics with floor-filling grooves, found its fullest early expression here, influencing a generation of artists who understood that pop music could be heartfelt and weird in equal measure.
In 2008, Hot Chip released Made In The Dark, wild pop record that refused to sit still. The album rose to #4 in the UK charts with single 'Ready For The Floor' breaking into the UK Top Ten and earning a Grammy nomination. While their previous efforts were effectively bedroom studio albums, Hot Chip wanted to capture the chemistry of their live show in the recording sessions. Despite being originally signed to a major label, the band had an unprecedented level of autonomy. "We were excited by the idea of doing something strange and vibrant," says Joe Goddard. "This record was a lot about freedom to experiment and make whatever kind of take on pop music that we wanted to make," - Alexis Taylor."We'd kicked the doors in and now we were at the party," says bandmember Owen Clarke.Reissued here on 2xLP and CD for the first time ever since it's release in a deluxe embossed gatefold sleeve with new liner notes by Kate Hutchinson.
