Day 17: morale is weird pic.twitter.com/TW4Xdv0qJH— Garrett Williams (@badboygargar) March 30, 2020
Joining the fray around one of the most fascinating tracks of 2020, London outfit Hot Chip have jumped on remix duties like only they can. A fantastic fit with the warm indie electronic grooves of "Think About Things," Hot Chip's alternative dance direction centers the track around a rollicking riff, especially electrifying in its killer clavinet. Whereas the original thrives through its ultra clean sound, making room for each element to play its part in the spotlight, this Hot Chip mix waddles along with an incredible weight and gravity, having gorged itself on the genius of the original. It doesn't have quite the same punch or get-down as the original, especially as it wipes out relief of the the final drop/chorus of the original, which is made so powerful by the brilliant fill and flourish (found at about 2:35). However, the Hot Chip remix cannot be stopped, it simply rolls on, keeping the dance-floor churning. And that's just it. This is no radio-play piece, but rather a club-friendly mix bursting with the same electronic allure as their timeless remix of "Tutti Frutti."
