UK Number 40s: Hot Chip - Boy From School (2006)

 


With guitars now taking back their crowns from turntables a number of dance acts were now starting to add rock elements to their music. Hot Chip had another idea though, to be a dance band with instruments. 

They weren't the first to do that, but with indie music being more popular than ever they managed to appeal to the indie crowd with their music. As a result their music has been described as being indietronica music.

The full title to this record was "And I Was A Boy From School" and came from their 2nd album "The Warning". Their Top 40 debut came earlier on in the year with "Over and Over" which made number 27. Their 3rd and final Top 40 hit came in 2008 which became their biggest hit making number 6.
