Absolutely buzzing are the words I would use to describe my feelings after I had listened to the new Chase & Status album.......old school rave music has come back at its best, 5 words though... GET ME TO THAT RAVE. Songs like Hypest Hype with Tempa T (please google this guy, you will laugh) and Blind Faith just want me to jump about and go crazyyyy! You will see in the video for Blind Faith that the people are looking for the best night, calling eachother up wanting and NEEDING a good "Paaarrttyy" in the words of Frank Gallagher. I personally think this is how my Friday night should be, no doubt I'll get a taste of that when I move to London though.
Driving home from uni today me and my equally buzzing friend were nodding our heads and hitting the steering wheel to their new album. God I wish we looked cool when we did that, but we're northern and have no rhythm, so you can guess how that picture played out?
What I like about Chase & Status is that they never disappear or "need a break" from the busy music scene, if you want to see them they'll probably be within a train journeys reach. Good effort lads.
Their 2010 album More Than Alot reminds me of my summer in 2009 (one the parents don't like to talk about) when I had a bit of spell where 7 am was my new bed time and I had no sense of what was "too loud" on my speakers. I used to work at a brilliant bar called Escobar, very indie indeed, but I remember getting there late one night (straight from the airport I might add, note: flying then absinthe is a no go)....I convinced my boss to play Chase & Status, to my surprise he agreed and we danced about with no care for anyone else to them like they were there.
Favourite songs? All of them. But for old times sake : Pieces, Running and a White Lies Remix (See Below) & Eastern Jam. But most importantly their new album on a whole is just amazing.
You will have seen recently that they've got together with Clare Maguire, Dizzee Rascal, Mali, Liam Bailey and of course Plan B. Get Involved!! To sum up they're doing better than ever right now, keep up the remixes and good luck with the album. Readers --> Get listening!
