mp-FREE: Hot Chip - "I Became A Volunteer"

Nov 08, 07

Oh, the love of electro!  Nothing in this track is over-anything.  Over-modulated?  No.  Over-kill?  No.  Over-repetitive?  No.  Over-ah, you get it.  The bomp and funk are here for sure.  The heightened 4/4 measures and house-y flow of some of the more uppity Hot Chip tracks, not so much.  "I Became A Volunteer" is more low-key, downtempo, travelogue-style measures, complete with a simple handclap here and there.

And, yeah, we know how far behind we are on first hearing this track, but you try keeping up with the landscape of new sounds hitting your inbox every day.  We dare you.  Anyways, go to Hot Chip's site and sign up for their newsletter so we don't feel so bad about posting the track.
