Quick, Before It Melts.

I would be the last person to expect being emotionally moved by Hot Chip, but out of nowhere, BAM! Here they come knocking my fragile emotional state on its head, leaving me tearful, sad, and intrigued by "Made In The Dark," the title track from their forthcoming second third album.

Besides being an introspective ballad of surprisingly simplistic beauty, it's completely not what I would have expected from them. I hope you enjoy it. Get some tissues.

I've been a bit preoccupied in the last few days (as "my fragile emotional state" alludes to) but be sure to keep checking in--I'll be back in a few days with some more goodies for you--I promise!
