Hot Chip & Peter Gabriel “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa”

“Ready for the Floor” totally changed my cynical opinion of Hot Chip in one fell swoop this year, so I was able to approach this — their unlikely collaboration with Peter Gabriel covering Vampire Weekend — with considerably less bile. For as gimmicky as it sounds on paper, “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa” sounds perfect without the boat shoes.
