Hot Chip

As you may be aware, Hot Chip‘s new album, In Our Heads is out today. If you’ve yet to hear it you can stream it on NPR or Spotify or buy it in a variety of formats. Album opener, “Motion Sickness” is one of the band’s best pop moments so far (up there with “Boy From School” and “I Feel Better”). Other standouts include the galloping beatwork of “These Chains” and the slow romantic sounding “Look At Where We Are,” and though it’s a bit on the long side, the whole album is really great.

As mentioned, Hot Chip will be touring this summer and coming to NYC for a show at Prospect Park on July 18 with Gang Gang Dance. Tickets for that show are still available, and the band have just added a smaller NYC show to happen two days later at Terminal 5 on July 20 with Chromatics. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (6/15) at noon with an AmEx presale starting Wednesday (6/13) at noon.

Chromatics also have another NYC show around that time at Dekalb Market on 7/22.

Two videos from In Our Heads are below, along with a list of updated dates…
