Quick Brew Review: Hot Chip "One Life Stand"

Hot Chip
One Life Stand
Release Date: February 9, 2010
Label: EMI/Astralwerks

Britian's beat geek's fourth album is decidedly more genre hopping than their last outing. It starts off with a fine run on the disco-ish Thieves In The Night, stomper Hand Me Down Your Love, house tech I Feel Better, and the terrific title track, a turn of the classic cliché. Then we hit dull middle section of buddy tune Brothers, the ho-hum Slush, and mangey Alley Cats. The band bounces back to its electropop roots at the end, especially with the fine finale Take It In. Overall, it's very good when the band stays close to familiar ground, but be ready to exercise the skip button on a soft middle.
