Very, very into this.

Yeah it's fun, liked it better than I thought I would.

I've heard half of this - I like the opener a lot; some of the lyrics are a little clunky.
The lede in your pitchfork review was a little bit weird though j0rd - is it really a thing now that all decent albums must have significant written and oral retrospectives on their tenth birthday before officially joining the canon?

sadly yes?

i admit that it was a bit awkward though. i felt like it was the easiest route to get to my thesis, which is that this album in particular feels like something that really benefits from not being weighed down by expectations and the way people discuss music online writ large (a contrasting album would be like... the EMA record or something)

This is a lot better than it needed to be! Little things like the outro on "Play The Fool" & the bridge on "Sexy Socialite" are gorgeous.
(& since nobody's posted it to the thread & the existence thereof cheers me up, here's "Fancy Footwork" getting used in Step Up 3D:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9nkv4z6-aE)

Oliver co-production is the secret weapon here. Likewise for that new Camron/A-Trak joint. Watch out for those guys. Big pop things in their future I think.

I love the new album, and especially the extended tracks. They feel like updated 70s/80s funk 12"s that are still fun and listenable despite somewhat weak hooks because of good instrumentation and flow. Jealous is the clear standout and the only one that really works as a sub 4 minute pop track.

Really didn't expect Chromeo to be the first people to be given a shot at the Lorde single, but I'm quite taken with this:

"Jealous" got a lot of mainstream and background music play... good for them. The album went to #11.

this is so pleasant, and works great next to the Calvin Harris songs on my summer playlist (which is still funny to me—never would have believed a year ago would be a statement that made any sense)

hmm maybe calvin harris and chromeo will start the Premature Bloghouse Revival That Was Foretold

I'd really love for Chromeo to become bigger stars now that even Bruno Mars has stole their thunder.

it seems amazing that in the post-Uptown Funk world Chromeo are still a second-tier act but then you see a video like that and it all makes sense

Haha

The relationship dynamics as depicted in the new video are...intriguing.
