Hot Chip - In Our Heads

On June the 12th 2012 Hot Chip will release their fifth studio album In Our Heads on the Domino label.

I've heard a few tracks from the album and I think they're taking their sound back to basics. One of my favorites is Flutes. This track takes me back to 1990's house and techno styles, but has more of a mastered modern feel. Great for a mix at a dance party. Well you can listen to it and decide for yourself. I was gonna post the official video for this track, but it is really bad. Someone put a camera on a record player and records the band sitting in the studio listening to the song. The camera spins round and round making everyone watching very dizzy. Not my kind of entertainment. Hot Chip will be touring this summer in about twenty different international cities around the world starting in Sheffield, England June 10th.

Death Grips - The Money Store

Death Grips are a group unlike any group you've ever heard before. These guys definitely have their own unique sound. Their music consists of a very dark combination of electronica, hip-hop, industrial, and insanity. True insanity! Not the kind that the EMO kid from down the street tries to pretend he feels when his parents wouldn't let him go to the Vampire Weekend concert. We're talking an, "I just got out of the asylum and I'm still pissed off at the world, and now all I want to do is make some aggressive loud music type insanity."

The band's latest release The Money Store is one of those albums that has great tracks from beginning to end. One of my favorites is the track Hacker, which you can listen to below.  If you like this track, then I highly recommend you getting the album.
