Chiddy Bang – Opposite of Adults

Mentioned these guys, this track even, in a post I’ve drafted but am still in two minds over whether to post or not – it goes against my ‘keep it positive’ (a.k.a. don’t slate stuff, just don’t mention it) mission. I probably will post it later as it’s got a slant, but in the meantime…

Chiddy Bang – Opposite of Adults (hypem)

Chiddy Bang - Opposite of Adults EP (2010)

On a bit of a summer trip right now, following the few minutes of sunshine we’ve had, and this is definitely going on the iPod playlist. Surprised me a little the first time when the laughing kids didn’t break into the familiar MGMT – Kids riff – it’s a bit of a mashed up alternative version of it instead.

Elements of hip-hop, electronica, indie-pop and most of all, beats that’ll perfectly soundtrack a party in the summer sunshine.

This is from their Opposite of Adults EP, released in February on EMI – they’re touring at the moment and will be at London’s Scala on 27 May.

Aside from loving the track itself, the cheeky homage to MGMT in the title deserves a little nod.

Opposite of Adults = Kids = the title of the MGMT song they mashed up the riff from! Geddit?!

Waiting for a full-length now…
