Chromeo – Business Casual

//Chromeo delivers.. 2nd album, sensational.

Who could forget fancy footwork, an album that took the world by surprise, this Duo did it perfectly, combined 80s influences with today’s modern world, to attract best of both worlds.

But as society moves very fast, jumping to what is new, fresh, and unique, it makes it extremely hard for producers to keep above par level and deliver a 2nd album, this is probably the hardest thing to achieve, .. Justice are in that boat. Yeasayer completely missed the mark, and from what i have heard lately of Late of the pier, and digitalism they are far from achieving their first album success,  and the problem lies in that we are expose to so much talent, good and bad music, regardless, competition is getting intense, the concept now is ‘ out with the old, in with the new’. But sometime you see guys like Chromeo just return, and show the youngsters how its done, clear example of unique sounds, cool, uber suave, sensational. Sticking to exactly what they did in fancy footwork, they followed up keeping their Chromeo sound and not really experimenting where the music is heading leaves Chromeo in a league of their own.

There is Chromeo.. and then there is others.. digitalism are caught trying to chase the new sound “Daft punk” similarity, where as Chromeo.. well is just Chromeo, you get exactly what you want.

I could continue to say how amazing this album is, but when you see this duo feature on David Letterman, you know they have captured a mass audience, making them extremely main stream, but yet uber cool. Unbeatable.

I leave you with Hot Mess. The first track of the album that completely wins you over,  if you are a fan of this, Buy this album, or even better.. catch them playing a Live show at Field day, I can tell you, Trashbags crew will be front center for Chromeo, and also with Justice. But that is no surprise. …
