Hot Chip are back with a new album in 2010, only adding to the immense list of new releases from top notch bands. The album is called One Life Stand, and it is due on Februrary 8th.
The first track from the album is called “Take It In” and what a nice track it is.
It is not what I expected, but totally in a good way. I was expecting something epic like “Over & Over” or “Ready For The Floor” It isn’t quite that type of song, but it still shines.
While “Take It In” has some initial crunch, it overall lacks the powerful punch of their big anthems. However, with that said, it certainly has a lot of depth to it. The rich melody that soaks the chorus is one of Hot Chip’s most beautiful moments yet. The vocals are beyond blissful, making this song sound delicate. Thats right, delicate!
Hot Chip use both of their weapons in “Take It In”. The vocals come together softly (almost like “And I Was A Boy From School”) while maintaining the ability to craft slick electronic beats that sounds trademark to Hot Chip.
I love it. This song can only get better with more listens.

[...] Hot Chip – Take It In NEW HOT CHIP! NEW HOT CHIP! Ah, we’ve all missed you. Since ‘Made In The Dark’ there’s been a gaping hole which only minimal electro indie could fill, and no one’s really bothered to try and take their crown whilst absent. That’s a good thing though, as they’ve taken their time about where to go next. While their last three albums had a fetish for lo-fi 80s electronica, ‘Take It In’ takes ten steps forward and we have a trance ballad. This shows exactly why Kylie was listing them as possible writers. Welcome back to the future, guys. http://www.weallwantsomeone.org/2009/11/11/new-hot-chip-take-it-in/ [...]
