I’ve been split on the two tracks we’ve heard from Hot Chip’s fourth LP One Life Stand. I really enjoyed the sweet, melancholy side that we saw in “Take It In“, but I wasn’t impressed with the album’s eponymous first single, or its video.

But now that the album has leaked (whoops!), we have a few tunes to listen to via YouTube, my favorite of which was “I Feel Better”, a strings-fueled, very much Made In The Dark-like ballad of epic proportions. If you ever needed convincing of Hot Chip’s ability to still wow your socks off while slowing it down, this is it.

I love how it took me several plays to realize that I wasn’t listening to Madonna – La Isla Bonita but the new Hot Chip ;)

Really? I don’t think they’re very similar.

i think the chord progression on the Chorus is very La Isla Bonita-ish. I think the band has admitted as much

hmm, I don’t know what to think about this. I guess I’m just waiting for the Shake A Fist’s and the Ready For The Floor’s of One Life Stand.

I like when they keep it simple when they slow down. There’s too much going on here. If you’re going to use all these sounds, why don’t you create a banger?

now that Stereogum talks about ‘Madonna – La Isla Bonita’ in reference to this track, do you agree with me?
