Hot Chip Side Dish



This one comes straight out of the Myspace presses: DFA Records has a new release from a side project of two guys from Hot Chip called Booji Boy High. I almost passed this one up, but luckily you can hear both songs from the Doubleshaw 7" on DFA's Myspace page. Here's the dirt on Booji Boy High taken from DFA's description:

Booji Boy High is a new project from elusive musical tag-team duo, Georgios Panayiotou and Mother Markzbow. Coming On Strong with the bounciest bounce of the next year, New Rave left dead in its grave, replaced by the rainbow rhythms of the New Age.

And that's about all there is so far. But, alas, the sound and vocals are succinctly the Hot Chip flare. This side project is definitely more about the electronic/synth/drum machine aspect of Hot Chip, but with the same quirkiness and frenetic syncopations of the band most of us have come to love so much. I'm excited about the project and I hope we'll see more material come out this year. The 7" is ready for your sale at the DFA webstore. For the time being, I've posted the b-side to Doubleshaw, "Twist Myself ," ripped from DFA's Myspace page:
