Hot Chip, a critically acclaimed British synthpop band, has just released their seventh album. The new album, called “A Bath Full of Ecstasy,” is a departure from their usual sound. It’s been described as being more experimental and freewheeling. This article will take a closer look at the new album and see what critics are saying about it.
The album starts with the song “Hot Chip Burn,” a slow-burning, atmospheric track. The next song, “Spell,” is a bit more uptempo and has a catchy hook. From there, the album takes several detours into different genres, including disco (“Positive”), funk (“Shake a Fist”), and even gospel (“One Life Stand”). Overall, the album is a departure from Hot Chip’s usual sound, but it is an interesting and enjoyable one.
The album also features collaborations with other artists, including David Byrne, Jarvis Cocker, and Robert Wyatt. This is one of the band’s most ambitious and experimental albums to date, and it is sure to be a favorite among fans. Additionally, the band will be touring in support of the album throughout the summer. Another aspect of the album that fans will enjoy is that it was recorded entirely on analog tape. This gives the album a warm, vintage sound that is perfect for summer listening.
Critics have been largely positive about the album, praising its experimental nature and Hot Chip’s willingness to take risks. The Guardian gives the album four stars, saying it is “an invigorating return full of innovation.” Pitchfork gives the album an 8.0 out of 10, calling it “a sharp left turn that mostly pays off.” NME gives the album a 7 out of 10, praising its “dazzling eclecticism.” However, most agree that it is a solid effort from a well-respected band. Many have also noted that the album seems more personal and introspective than previous Hot Chip albums.
If you’re a Hot Chip fan or just looking for something different, you should check out “A Bath Full of Ecstasy.” It’s an interesting and enjoyable album that shows a band willing to take risks and experiment with their sound.
