    In the age of postmodern stupidity Joe give us the true meaning of plastic abstraction making us remember with our senses what was like to be in tone with the music of our time... which was the music of forever because music is always the present. (Lucas Molteni)

    On Electric Lines, the fine moments are bountiful.

    While there’s nothing on Electric Lines to match the heart-stopping brilliance of Gabriel or even be as sheer fun as much of The 2 Bears record was, it will satisfyingly sate anyone who feels they’ve been waiting too long for a new Hot Chip album.

    The album (somewhat) finds itself towards its end, where Goddard’s sonic explorations and falsetto, paired with simple drum work, are better suited.
