Hot Chip – Warning (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Alexis Taylor and Joe Goddard had already been making music together for years by the time The Warning landed, but this was the record that announced Hot Chip as something genuinely distinct, not just another UK act chasing a trend. The blend of vulnerability and dancefloor abandon they found here, particularly on "Boy From School," pointed toward a lineage connecting Arthur Russell and Chicago house to something entirely their own.
Rewind to the year 2006 when British music was enthralled with guitar bands in winklepickers and waistcoats. And then along came Hot Chip's album The Warning, like a kaleidoscopic bolt from the blue that turned a generation of indie fans onto the hedonistic pleasure of repetitive beats. The Warning was a ahead of the zeitgeist, spending 17 weeks in the UK charts and earning a Mercury Prize nomination thanks to tracks like 'Over & Over' and 'Boy From School'. Inspired by the sounds coming out of New York in the mid-2000s but even more indebted to the London club underground, the album was characterised by ambitious genre blends and a statement of intent. "Making this record was definitely us trying to defy expectations and do something exciting".Reissued here on 2xLP and CD for the first time since 2006 in celebration of The Warning's 20th anniversary with new liner notes by Kate Hutchinson.
