With 'one life stand' hot chip have created another widescreen pop masterpiece. A track that seeps through to your soul while defiantly striking a pose on the dance floor called now. Indeed, hot chip have an uncanny knack of creating great singles, from the bruising 'over and over' and the dizzying 'boy from school' to 2008's ubiquitous smash 'ready for the floor', alexis, joe, felix, al and owen have constantly pushed the boundaries of what pop music can be and new single 'one life stand' is no exception; a masterful 3 minute wonder that will surely sit alongside the very best in the annals of contemporary pop music. Hot chip have always been equally adept at producing floor fillers alongside songs of intimacy and melancholy and with 'one life stand' they have pulled off the rare trick of executing both at the same time, by lyrically declaring a personal and tender message within the confines of a tune that is infectious, deeply danceable, fortified and ready for the dancefloor.
