Made in the Dark

Hot Chip

A masterfully bipolar collection of neon-lit dancefloor anthems and fragile, piano-led confessions. The definitive sound of 2008 indie-dance.

February 4, 2008 · EMI

Find on Amazon

A restless but comforting blend of high-energy dancefloor joy and quiet, late-night introspection.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, aggressive Todd Edwards-style vocal chopping that disrupts the groove in Shake a Fist.
The transition from the frantic energy of the opening tracks into the stark, piano-led intimacy of the title track.
The way the bassline in Ready for the Floor feels both physically heavy and emotionally light at the same time.
