Hot Chip
“THE WARNING”
RATING: 3 1/2 SOUND LEVELS
With their second full-length release, the London techno-geek quintet Hot Chip steps up with an album of chilled-out electro-pop that beats with a human heart. Singer Alexis Taylor’s light, airy vocals are well suited both to beeping, squiggling odes to the joys of repetition such as “Over and Over” and to the uncharacteristically aggressive and ironically titled “Careful.” Songs like “Colours” match breezy melodies to bubbling synth sounds that go down so smoothly it’s easy to miss the hints of menace.
