It's Chrome-o-o-o-o-o

Chromeo, and assorted remixes have been floating around the blogosphere for almost two years now. I saw their extremely reasonably priced double disc Fancy Footwork (Fancier Footwork edition) and immediately picked it up. The CD did not disappoint. While Chromeo has become almost brotronica, the CD its self is written more from a nerd's perspective, while the relationships and gallivanting are focuses of many of the songs, lines in them, and the other songs couch Chromeo as real, rather then just a bunch of Canadians trying to be prince. The reality and self doubt combined with the humor in their songs, leads me to believe that their are great things in store for Chromeo.

The Fancy Footwork album kicks off with a bang, in the build of of an introduction track that creates tension which is then immediately sliced with their blow out hit "Tenderoni". The second discs contains three aditional tracks, and a variety of remixes, including MSTRKRFT remix of "Tenderoni" which blew the blogs wide open. The second disc also contains remixes by the likes of the Crookers, and DFA.

Chromeo has created a music experience that will have you busting out the fancy footwork. If you're a nerd like me you'll find reflections of the album in your own life. Call me up, Girl. This album most definitely needs your attention, like a Needy Girl.
