Going into Governors Ball one of the sets I was most excited for was Hot Chip. Every single time that I’ve seen them perform live is as joyous as the last, and you just know you’re going to get a set full of all of the songs you want to hear, only brought to life in ways you forgot were possible.
They kicked off their performance with Why Make Sense? (out via Domino Records) lead single “Huarache Lights,” a scorcher that was taken to new levels live, getting the dance party started at once. They followed it with an almost unfair group of their best singles: “One Life Stand,” “Night & Day,” “Flutes,” and “Over and Over.” Hot Chip have mastered the art of blending rock elements with electronic dance grooves, finding an equilibrium between the two that is truly the best of both worlds.
