The Warning

Rewind to the year 2006 when British music was enthrall to guitar bands in winklepickers and waistcoats. And then along came Hot Chip's album 'The Warning' like a kaleidoscopic bolt from the blue and turned a generation of indie fans onto the hedonistic pleasure of repetitive beats. 'The Warning' was a ahead of the zeitgeist, spending 17 weeks in the UK charts and earning a Mercury Prize nomination thanks to tracks like 'Over & Over' and 'Boy from School'. Inspired by the sounds coming out of New York in the mid-2000's but even more indebted to the London club underground, the album was characterised by ambitious genre blends and a statement of intent. 'Making this record was definitely us trying to defy expectations and do something exciting'.
