You may know Seu Jorge from Wes Anderson´s “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou”, a movie in which he occasionally pops up with his acoustic guitar singing David Bowie songs in Portuguese. The retro aesthetic of that film fits his music perfectly. He was clearly raised on Brazil’s Tropicalia music, but he combines that tradition with other music of the late 60s and early 70s – glam rock, funk, psychedelia, reggae.

His newest album, a self-titled collaboration with a band called Almaz, continues in the same spirit. The highlights are once again the covers: “Das Model” by Kraftwerk is redone as a dubby reggae number, and Roy Ayers’ “Everybody Loves The Sunshine” is infused with a croon not unlike that late Barry White.

“One Life Stand”  is called what’s going to stir our blood from the 5th february on!
With their new electropop album, Hot Chip have created something that is still embossed from their typical creative incalculability – at the same time its fraught with nearly biting emotionality.
This sound is nerdy, sexy and sweet like we already know Hot Chip from their last three albums. But also self contained and soulful like none before.

Check: “Hand Me Down Your Love” my personal favourite track…
