Hot Chip just can't seem to do a damn thing wrong. They signed to DFA, people are queuing up for a remix and anticipation for the new album is causing serious palpitations. And what's more, it's all justified - they can't help but make perfect songs. Everything you'd expect is here: elastic bassline, staccato guitar, toytown electronics and those glorious, plaintive vocals. Even better, it grows with every listen. Hot Chip possess that rare quality of being able to make a seemingly instant track that still gets better with every listen. Watch as they reign over us all in 2008. [Matt Gollock]
