2010 is shaping up to be a wonderful year in music already. One of the releases I’m most anticipating is the new album from Hot Chip. The album is brilliantly titled One Life Stand and will be released via Astralwerks on February 9th. Just in time to pick it up for your sweetheart on Valentine’s Day! The first single is out now and it goes by the name of “Take It In.” The track starts off surprisingly dark, with a throbbing industrial beat. It isn’t long before the electronic pop we expect from these guys takes over and leads this one in new directions. It ends up being a bit of a ballad. I’m always impressed by the creativity of these guys. They know no boundaries and are constantly pushing themselves. The band will be playing a string of dates with The xx in April.
