Hot Chip nails Sexual Healing

Okay so I've heard my share of amazing covers, but when I found Hot Chip's rendition of Marvin Gaye's classic "Sexual Healing" I just knew I had to share it! With the release of Made in the Dark coming up on Tuesday (Its satisfyingly delicious btw) 2/4, it's only right to plug this amazingly zany group. Right now I can't get enough of new tracks "Shake a Fist," "Wrestlers," and the inspiration for the album title, "Made in the Dark."(Absolute favorite)


Since we fell apart I've been nothing but blue
Longing for a night-time to bring back my youth
Every night in motion, together, apart
Apart from the moments so dear to my heart

We were made in the dark
We were made in the dark
We were made in the dark
We were made in the dark

Since I stole this song we have made a new start
My premonition hits hard as our start is apart
Every night the motion must be fixed by glue
But babe, be careful, what's fixed as one breaks in two

We were made in the dark
We were made in the dark
We were made in the dark
We were made in the dark

Hot Chip - Made in the Dark

Hot Chip - Shake a Fist

Hot Chip - Sexual Healing
