Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Elevator, the second full-length by Vancouver, Canada's Hot Hot Heat, is a neat reminder of how the land has shifted in alternative rock in the last couple of years. When "Bandages" appeared back in 2002, it was rare to find an indie-punk song that embraced tunefulness quite so readily; yet now, Elevator jostles for space amongst offerings from The Killers, The Futureheads, and The Bravery, all with a spring in their step and eyes on the Top 10. The opening salvo of "Running Out Of Time" and "Goodnight Goodnight" prove that Hot Hot Heat are up to the challenge, however, frontman Steve Bays yelping about "wallowing in a pool of gasoline" over jittery, mellotron-soaked new-wave that vibrates with passion without ever curdling into self-pity or emo introspection. So loath are Hot Hot Heat to not let the upbeat mood slide, you get a feeling that virtually any track here could be a single: but in particular, you should be making room for the piano-hammering "You Owe Me An IOU" and "Pickin' It Up" – The Clash's "I Fought The Law" on a fistful of Prozac – on your next mixtape. --Louis Pattison

Includes thesingle 'Goodnight Goodnight'.
