Chromeo Return With 'Business Casual' August 17
« on: May 14, 2010, 06:00:11 PM »
This summer, the party-starting, festival-happy Montreal plastic-funk duo Chromeo returns. On August 17, they'll release Business Casual, their third album and the follow-up to the 2007 breakthrough Fancy Footwork, via Atlantic. The band is still finalizing the order of the songs, but we've got the titles of all the songs on the album below. It seems pretty incredible that Chromeo hadn't already released a track called "Hot Mess".

Some fun facts about Business Casual: Solange Knowles lends her voice to "When the Night Falls"; Cassius member and Phoenix producer Philipe Zdar, a longtime Chromeo collaborator, mixed the disc; and, as with Fancy Footwork, Surface 2 Air did the artwork.

Before the album drops, they'll also play a couple of big festivals. The duo has dates lined up at Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo. And at the 'Roo, they'll fulfill their destiny by sharing a stage with 80s pop legend Daryl Hall.

Business Casual:

Hot Mess
I'm Not Contagious
You Make It Rough
Don't Turn the Lights On
Grow Up
Night by Night
Don't Walk Away
When the Night Falls
The Right Type

check out all the cool old school gear they got in the studio, including the PC! damn :laugh:

Our friends over at The Fader came and shot us in the lab about a month ago, and put together this video. Perhaps you’ve seen it already, so I’ll add a little anecdote about the clip’s main attraction, and the lungs to our whole studio setup: our pre-World War II PC. First of all, why do we use such an antiquated machine? Well, as some of you know, I used to make rap beats back in the late 90s. I had an Akai S950 sampler (best and most grimy filter ever, as evidenced all over this masterpiece, amongst others), which Pee taught me how to use, of course, and this old version of Cakewalk to sequence (plugged into the family computer, obviously). Well, suffice to say that the ole’ Cakewalk never left, partly because I’m so comfortable with programming drums on it, and partly for sentimental value. Now as you can imagine, the PC is kind of fragile. And sure enough, a few months before we started recording, its CD burner in it broke. (Note that said burner is essential — it’s not like the PC has USB ports or anything). Pee, somewhat panicked, sent his assistant out to get another one. Dude went to all the computer stores in Montreal, only to get laughed at. These parts haven’t been on sale for 10 years! Then he had an idea. Why not go to Montreal’s mythical thrift emporium, Village des Valeurs, and raid the scrap computer section in the back? Jackpot: they laughed in his face…but they had a spare CD burner. Total cost: 3 dollars.
