Hot Chip – One Life Stand (CD)
Product Details
London's Hot Chip built their reputation bridging the emotional gap between dancefloor euphoria and genuine heartache, a trick few electronic acts pull off without feeling contrived. One Life Stand arrived at a moment when the band's personal lives and their music finally converged, giving their synth-driven songs a grounded intimacy that their earlier, more frenetic work hadn't quite reached.
By 2010's One Life Stand, Hot Chip had evolved. There'd been collaborations with legends like Peter Gabriel and Robert Wyatt, various solo albums and side projects, and, personally, settling down. They'd been touring the world for 10 years and reaching global audiences. As the decade drew to a close, Hot Chip began to take stock. Their songwriting had always been emotionally resonant but on their fourth studio album, it took on a newfound maturity, with themes of domesticity and devotion. The result was One Life Stand, Hot Chip's most concise album to date: 10 songs that put melody front and centre. It's clearer and more direct, while outside collaborators infused the sessions with a new energy, fueled by anthems like 'I Feel Better' and the eponymous single 'One Life Stand'.Reissued here for the first time ever since it's release with new liner notes by Kate Hutchinson.
