London‘s synth-pop idols HOT CHIP released their jubilant
2nd LP THE WARNING today 20 years ago, on 22 May 2006.
With this sophomore HC created an LP that was received much more
focused and pop friendly. One critic said: “A step away from Prince and
a step towards LCD Soundsystem”.
It peaked at #43 in the UK and #13 on the US Dance Charts.
NME: “There’s something of New Order in Hot Chip. The same
mix of art school-meets-working man demeanour.”
