Artist:	HOT CHIP
Title:	Coming on Strong
Label:	ASTRALWERKS
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	ASW 48102CD

"Hot Chip is London's twisted and upcoming electronic pop band whose influences range from 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 been recorded in a murky home studio and brimming with the pleasures of domestic life: eating, sleeping, loving, drunkenness and heartache. The '80s loom large in Hot Chip, with songs like 'Take Care' sounding like a Wings-era Paul McCartney fronting a Michael McDonald-period Doobie Brothers riff and 'Down With Prince' which features a disjointed funk that would make the Purple One smile. Hot Chip's music is fun, experimental and undeniably melodic all at the same time. Imagine if Brian Wilson were to be produced by The Neptunes and you have an idea of what Coming On Strong is all about."

Title:	Over and Over
Label:	ASTRALWERKS
Format:	CD
Price:	$7.00
Catalog #:	ASW 51278CD

"Hot Chip returns with a full remix package of 'Over And Over,' the first single off their sophomore album The Warning out this spring. This London self styled R'N Bedroom electro team have created a unique musical style with influences that range from The Beach Boys, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Madlib and Devo. Hot Chip are the perfect addition to the DFA/ Astralwerks discography. The new single 'Over And Over' delivers some fired up remixes by Naum Gabo, Justus Koehncke and Solid Groove (aka Switch.) The Naum Gabo mix is a pounding groove with a dark bouncing bass line and build-ups throughout for that peak hour set, while the Justus Koehncke flavors you with a smoother White Horse 'Laid Back' feel. The Solid Groove mix is a steady tec-funk vibe with an old Swag/Piece Division flavor."

Title:	The Warning
Label:	ASTRALWERKS
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	ASW 62814CD

"This album is a statement of intent that will show people the true nature of Hot Chip, and allow the band to rightfully assume the position in the spotlight they deserve. The Warning follows on the heels of their debut album Coming On Strong and the heavily touted single 'Over And Over,' perhaps Hot Chip's most immediate and monstrous single to date, which delivered a sly dig to those who heard them as too 'chilled out' first time around. The Warning has a unique and infectious feel and is a huge step forward with rugged beats and thick bass lines layered by smooth vocals. It also offers an indication to their immaculately layered pop voyeurism, while simultaneously driving the point home with the classic remorseless, relentless repetition we know and love."
