some dope funky shit 8)

seeing chromeo at a small club in london next tuesday 8)

"On that note comes “Don’t Turn The Lights On,” the duo’s next entrant to the repertoire, and the second single (dig on “Night By Night“) from the forthcoming third LP Business Casual. Don’t turn the lights on (“because tonight I want to see you in the dark,” is how it stands), but the masterfully mixed (by Phillippe Zdar) electro-banged out beat underlying the ’80s synth-pop and guitar funk is at least asking for a little space on the dancefloor, and maybe some red light-bulbs shining through smoke generated via the mechanism of your choice. Dance yrself clean, or at least yr way into this Chromeo come-on. These guys love their sexy time

Almost done with the album now. Slightly disappointed. It sounds a lot slower and muddled compared to Fancy Footwork. "Night by Night" is my favorite track and imo the best choice for a single, segueing fans from one albums' sound to another.

agree. on a first listen i would say not as good as fancy footwork. not enough straight bangers but certainly a bit more ambitious and varied with the production. dunno if that is such a good thing considering how replayable fancy footwork is from back to front. too much variety pulls down the cohesiveness on this. the second half really goes off on tangents.

but i love the two singles and the first track 'hot mess' (reminds me of klymaxx/midnight star) is awesome!!! 8) if only it coulda been an album of that...

I always had mixed feelings about Chromeo. On one hand I like the production on some tracks, but others are so cheesy it's ridiculous.

Also where I'm from, every hipster jocks the Chromeo dick, which is of course a valid reason to be annoyed.
