"MADE IN THE DARK"
Zoo - "an early contender for album of the year"
Time Out - "we've heard it already and it's brilliant"
Clash - "Set to be the dance album of the year."
Glamour - "fun fast and frivolous" 4/5
Loaded - 4/5
Mixmag - Album of the month 4/5
Gay Times - 4/5 "They remain one of the great life affirming pleasures of contemporary British pop."
The Word - "Wonderful dance music - that you don't have to dance to. Hot Chip's genre bending courage comes into its own, defining how dance music works when your limbs are at rest, breaking new ground beyond that already explored by Neil and Chris and Barney and Vince."
Maxim - 5/5 Album Of The Month "Essential" / "The UK's most original dance group in years." / "Subtly soulful, darkly funny, and haring off on their own into the far future of pop, these boys should be put in charge of all British music. Does the Queen have the power to do that? She should shitting well get onto it."
iDJ - 5/5 Album Of The Month "It's difficult - no impossible - to think of any other band who could have come up with something like ‘Made In The Dark', an album so bright, bold, brave, and downright bonkers" / "In 2008 Hot Chip are occupying the uncharted territory between Talking Heads, Timbaland, and Modeselektor while sounding like none of them. The joy of repetition really is on them."
Observer Music Monthly - 4/5 "Splashing around happily in the clear blue water that once seemed to divide not only Steely Dan and Was Not Was, but also Kraftwerk and 10CC, this band are clearly having the time of their lives."
The Word - "Wonderful dance music - that you don't have to dance to. Hot Chip's genre bending courage comes into its own, defining how dance music works when your limbs are at rest, breaking new ground beyond that already explored by Neil and Chris and Barney and Vince."
Mojo - "...breathing an emotional flush into electronic music's waxy cheeks"
Robert Wyatt (in Uncut) - "folk music for the industrial era"
"READY FOR THE FLOOR"
iD - "All hail the first anthem of 2008"
Guardian - "2008's first great single, an unforgettable collision of electro beats, Kraftwerk keyboards, and one of those melodies that seems to arrive fully formed from outer space."
NME Track Of The Week - "A charmed melding of disco deviance and kitchen-sync kitsch not seen since the Pet Shop Boys had to sing for their rent."
iDJ - "A remarkable return to form" / "Almost elegiac and quite beautiful." 4/5
Observer - "An addictive slice of minimalist electro pop"
Artrocker - "My single of 2008 already"
Zoo - Number 1 Track To Download - "The indie electro heroes show exactly how to follow their near perfect breakthrough hit ‘Over And Over' by penning its dancefloor slaying partner track. Brilliant."
More - "Ace. Your iPod will sob without it."
