And that whole Joker/Two-Face thing is seriously a bad look for Hot Chip. This actually makes me kind of nervous for Made in the Dark.

That chorus is amazing. So so so subtle.

How'd this band get so good? Seriously, listen to that first album and then the second. The progression is shocking.

I still have high hopes for this one

And you're right, Eli, the progression from the (kinda weak) Coming on Strong to the Warning is totally shocking. But so far, I don't hear anything close to "Boy From School" or "Over and Over" here.

Big open rooms, moving floors, stripped-down color schemes. s'all there.

not speaking of the music per say... just the visual gimmick of the video

There "My Piano" cut off of their DJ-Kicks blows me away. This song can definitely grow on you. I'm definitely looking forward to their new record.
