The Warning

Hot Chip

Indietronica that pairs club-ready cowbells with a fragile, nerdy heart. Warm synths and vulnerable falsettos for the thinking person's dancefloor.

Find on Amazon

It's the ultimate 'dance while you cry' record with the best cowbell in music history.

A playful yet deeply sincere exploration of intimacy through the lens of electronic dance music.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The relentless, hypnotic cowbell rhythm that anchors the entirety of Over and Over.
The transition from the glitchy intro of Careful into its warm, melodic synth bassline.
The way the title track builds from a menacing, low-end pulse into a layered electronic warning.
