I saw them about 2 years ago opening for Metric. I thought they had something quite interesting if they took a slight bit of the edge off. This album does more than that. They move slightly more to the pop spectrum bringing in some disco and shoegaze influences. Strong album overall. Looking forward to what they do next.

LCD Soundsystem led by the ultimate hipster, James Murphy who embraces the "I'm so uncool, it's cool" estethic, returns with their signature electro-funk-soul sound. I love this band because their sound always gets you swaying to their music. Album doesn't feel as strong as their last "Sounds of Silver" (one of the best albums of the 00's), but I find their songs always get better with more listens.
This band has created some of the best songs of the decade and they return with their most complete album to date. Dealing with the uncommon topic of long term relationships (marriage, brotherhood), Hot Chip's electro-soul sound breathes life and excitement into the very unlikely topic for a rock album.
Incredible keyboards, catchy beats, thoughtful lyrics, and a wonderful vocal performance will make this one of the best albums of the year.

A kind of fun, album for the summer that follows the sound of label-mates LCD Soundsystem.

Passionate about technology start-ups (especially at the intersection of social, mobile, and game technologies), I am currently exploring the large corporate world by helping a $4 billion multi-national improve their innovation strategy.
In my spare time, I try to find the best indie music bands to supplement my massive music collection and share with my friends.
Music on the Radio sucks. My suggestions for a dramatically better music listening experience.
