Chromeo album drops!

July 9, 2008 by traveler.

Chromeo’s new album Fancier Footwork/Fancy Footwork Deluxe Edition hit stores yesterday!

If you aren’t hip to Chromeo yet, you have got to listen to their music. If you like electro and/or funk, you will LOVE basically every Chromeo track. P-Thugg and Dave 1 (A-Trak’s bro) bring back a sound that’s been sorely missed.

For the uninitiated, Fancy Footwork Deluxe Edition is an excellent primer. It includes all the tracks from Fancy Footwork, remixes, music videos, and some She’s In Control tracks. All this is a terrific bargain at $13.99 (on iTunes). For the Chromeo fan looking to add to their collection, the album will not disappoint. The remixes and music videos are well worth the download (the 30 second previews dont do them justice).

Of course, Chromeo’s music videos are entertaining and often nostalgic. The only misfire is Tenderoni- the pizza delivery theme was a thin excuse to showcase some bland visual effects. The band’s other videos are much more compelling. The highlight has to be Bonafied Lovin’s homage to Dire Strait’s Money for Nothing video.
