Newly signed to Astralwerks and DFA, Hot Chip is London's twisted electronic pop up & coming band whose influences range from the The Beach Boys, Stevie Wonder, Neil Young and Prince to Ween, Madlib and Devo. Coming On Strong is like a 21st Century electronic version of Bob Dylan's Basement Tapes, having recorded in a murky home studio and brimming with the pleasures of domestic life: eating, sleeping, loving, drunkeness and heartache. The 80s loom large in Hot Chip, with songs like "Take Care" and "Down With Prince" which features a disjointed funk that would make the Purple one smile. US release includes 3 bonus tracks.
