Chromeo is comprised of Dave 1 (lead singer/guitar) and P-Thugg (funky keyboarder) and they have without a doubt become my favorite find of the whole summer. Describing their sound as "Love making, Love breaking," they create electro-funk music that people of all age can enjoy and dance to. I downloaded their Fancy Footwork album after listening to "Bonafied Lovin" for about the millionth time and hearing that Vampire Weekend was a big fan of theirs. In one song, Dave 1 chants,"Your whole demeanor is outta sight," and ironically, Chromeo music itself can be referred to as such. "Bonafied Lovin," and "Opening Up (Ce Soir De Danse)," are without a doubt the biggest highlights of the album: they have the highest funk ability of any other tracks on Fancy Footwork. However, a few lackluster songs like "Waiting 4 U" and "Call Me Up" can damper a listeners funk-high. However, the rest of the album is amazing enough that you won't even mind a slow track every now and then. Overall, this record is surely one to be on repeat for at least a few years- maybe even one that teenagers of this generation can pass on to their children from music in the "good ole' days".
