Hot Chip – Flutes
I encourage you all to start your week off right with a sexy new single from Hot Chip. My favourite memory of Hot Chip was watching them at Coachella 2010, an older couple standing near me clearly wasn’t diggin’, and said they were just “electronic disco,” which made me wonder what acoustic disco sounds like…
Their new track Flutes is an infectious booty shaker, and it’s going to be on their new album “In Our Heads” which comes out in June on Domino Records.
Hot Chip is hitting The Commodore on September 15th which feels like 5 billion years from now but you can get tickets now and they’re going fast.

Never quite gave much thought to Hot Chip until I heard their cover of Vampire Weekend’s “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa” with Peter Gabriel. “Flutes” is the most infectious track I’ve heard from them so far, still needing to flip through their back catalogue. I love the distortion in the back of the track. Sounds a lot like what Radiohead did in “Idioteque”.
I featured “Flutes” in a recent post…. http://icanseebetterthroughthefog.wordpress.com/2012/05/23/oh-deer/
