VICE RECORDS TO RELEASE CHROMEO FANCY FOOTWORK: DELUXE EDITION ON JUNE 17th
Chromeo: once an underground best kept secret, now an Earth-sweeping cultural phenomenon responsible for bringing together a massive union of indie trendsters, dance muggers, gay students, hip hoppers, music blogging nerds and nubile girls. They attract the attention of celebrities like those with the surname Hilton (Paris, Perez), Hall and Oates (who sought out a collaboration) and Kanye West (who regularly name checks them on his blog). The revolutionary MTV program 52/52 took an in depth look at Chromeo and not surprisingly, fell in love. Since the beginning of the year, they’ve sold out shows in LA (El Rey), New York (Bowery Ballroom, twice), Manchester (Academy), London (KoKo’s), and have just completed a triumphant homecoming tour in Canada. Chromeo’s appearance on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live gave America a chance to experience the moog riffs, talk boxes and heartfelt loverboy lyrics that have been sorely missing in the milieu of contemporary music. All the key American festivals like Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Coachella and All Points West have come calling hoping to catch some Chromeo magic. Now, the good news:
VICE Records announces the release of Chromeo – Fancy Footwork: Deluxe Edition. Disc one is the essential original recording. Disc two contains remixes by Lifelike, MSTRKRFT, DFA, Crookers and more. Five videos include MTV favorite Bonafied Lovin, certified classic Needy Girl and the brand new Fancy Footwork. Greatest hits are also included. All packaged in lavish Italian marble.
Out on June 17, 2008.
