A Prostitute From Marseille

My Night with the Prostitute from Marseille
Not really weekend playlist material, but this is a gem from Beirut's year-old release. It's FREE for download at Amazon. This is the most like Hot Chip that I've ever heard Beirut before. A drawn out vocal hook, rolling on top of a synth loop and a drum groove that appears in the chorus. Sweet.

A Boy From School
If Grizzly Bear covered your favorite Hot Chip song, complete with vocal harmonies and acoustic guitar crescendos it would sound like this. Without the backbeat it's not a dance song anymore; it's now a kind of sad, raw song about lost love.
