Made In The Dark

London's Hot Chip follow their breakthrough 2006 LP, The Warning, with the lovable but flawed Made in the Dark.

<p>You might know them as pop nerds, but Ben Thompson just loves their power ballads</p>

The band attempts to square its outsize floor-filling ambition with its previously established skill for intimate moments.

For many listeners, the most memorable lyric from Hot Chip's amazing third album may be this: "Made in the Dark by Hot Chip, coming soon".
