Hot Chip has been known to cover their favorite songs as giddy fanboys. Today, it is I that is the giddy fanboy. The last great hope on DFA records released a video to Bruce Springsteen’s classic, “Dancing in the Dark,” as a public access video. The setting is taken from a time when Voltron was kind of a big deal. Stay with the video, because after the five minute mark, things get interesting. Hot Chip segways into LCD Soundsystem’s “All of My friends.” A brilliant transition that is being offered as an accompanying track on the “Dancing in the Dark” EP. If that wasn’t enough Hot Chip news, the guys also put their delicate touch on New Order’s banger of a single,”Tutti Frutti.”
