Inclusiveness and studio improvising were the key factors in making British electro-pop band Hot Chip's third studio record, Made in the Dark. Several tracks were done outside the confines of their home studios, which was a first. "We recorded six demos in January, and that was our first experience being in a studio other than a room or a basement," Taylor explains.





"I remember a lot of discussion about improvising in the studio, and listening to bands like This Heat," he continues. "We wanted to take it away from the computer; it became more about recording everything we do, and piecing it together later." - Billboard
