Three years is too long. That’s the amount of time that has passed since the lads from Hot Chip have dropped any new music as a group. Curious that they chose the name of a sandal to name their song. Also, the track appears to be heavily influenced by their fellow countrymen, the Chemical Brothers, which is a pleasant surprise considering the trajectory over the last several years. “Huarache Lights” is the first single taken off of the forthcoming album, “Why Make Sense,” scheduled for release May 18. Look for Hot Chip to hit the States in late May to support the effort.
