Hot Chip – Made In The Dark

Description

In 2008, Hot Chip released Made In The Dark, a wild pop record that refused to sit still. The album rose to #4 in the UK charts with single ‘Ready For The Floor’ breaking into the UK Top Ten and earning a Grammy nomination. While their previous efforts were effectively bedroom studio albums, Hot Chip wanted to capture the chemistry of their live show in the recording sessions. Despite being originally signed to a major label, the band had an unprecedented level of autonomy. “We were excited by the idea of doing something strange and vibrant,” says Joe Goddard. “This record was a lot about freedom to experiment and make whatever kind of take on pop music that we wanted to make,” – Alexis Taylor.

“We’d kicked the doors in and now we were at the party,” says bandmember Owen Clarke.

Reissued here on 2xLP and CD for the first time ever since it’s release in a gatefold sleeve with new liner notes by Kate Hutchinson.
