The Warning (20th Anniversary) [Biovinyl 2LP]

Hot Chip - The Warning (20th Anniversary) [Biovinyl 2LP]

Rewind to the year 2006 when British music was enthralled with guitar bands in winklepickers and waistcoats. And then along came Hot Chip's album The Warning like a kaleidoscopic bolt from the blue and turned a generation of indie fans onto the hedonistic pleasure of repetitive beats. The Warning was a ahead of the zeitgeist, spending 17 weeks in the UK charts and earning a Mercury Prize nomination thanks to tracks like 'Over & Over' and 'Boy From School'. Inspired by the sounds coming out of New York in the mid-2000s but even more indebted to the London club underground, the album was characterised by ambitious genre blends and a statement of intent. “Making this record was definitely us trying to defy expectations and do something exciting”.

Reissued here on 2xLP and CD for the first time since 2006 in celebration of The Warning's 20th anniversary with new liner notes by Kate Hutchinson.
