Pitchfork

Emerging all unexpected-like from the Dark comes "One Pure Thought", the latest single from mild-mannered electro-funkers Hot Chip's third LP. Due in UK stores in a number of formats May 12 from DFA/Astralwerks, all of its contents-- including a Christmas song B-side, and remixes from Dominik Eulberg and Hot Chip themselves-- will be available for download May 11.

Speaking of Hot Chip remixes, the boys recently got their hands on tunes by the Accidental and the Pharcyde, and their pal Grovesnor.

The Chip are in North America at the moment, gearing up for Coachella with a handful of club dates. They'll hit ATP vs. Pitchfork next month, which should help ease them into a busy European festival schedule for the hot season.

And come October, the Chip have a newly announced headlining UK tour to attend to. Now that's advanced planning.
