Et j'adore.
Whilst listening to The Chap you will find yourself thinking, maybe even shouting, ‘What the good lord and Moses?’ at your stereo. Sometimes because it’s just so right and sometimes because you have no idea what in the hell is going on.
The Chap are a hard one to describe. They are a band with pop sensibilities but they twitch and groove along like Little Richard fucking a mobile disco. On a track like ‘Woop Woop’ you have both a tight simple groove but also a weird complexity while ‘Now Woel’ is the sound of someone beating up garage rock with a synth.
At times it becomes a bit odd even for me but just when this seems to be the case a clever hook or beat will engage you again. In fact that is one of the greatest attributes of The Chap, the fine line they walk between ludicrous and brilliant. They are a bizarre disco pop phenomenon and a joy to behold. They are not however a band for the faint hearted that’s for sure.
