Hot Chip’s Transmission

Joy Divison; one of my favorite bands. Hot Chip; one of my favorite bands. Put them together, well, that’s pretty great. A while back Hot Chip covered Joy Division’s song ‘Transmission’. I like it a lot. Hot Chip keeps the same melody as the original but makes it their own by converting it into an electro, disco-esque tune. I’ve always loved Alexis Taylor’s vocals and that’s no different here. They’re softer and soothing when compared to Ian Curtis’, who sings with grit, anger and depression. But Taylors’ are better matched to the new melody. Looking forward to their new album next year.
