Few entertainment pleasures can match the free-wheeling escapades of an act that wouldn’t be caught dead taking itself seriously. Such is the aesthetic of audio "researchers" Dave One and Pee Thug, and Fancy Footwork marks the duo's graduation from über-hip pranksters to "Bonafide" party rockers with a decent shot at longevity. Tongues-in-cheek, Chromeo channels the synthesized pop anthems of the 1980s as a matter of course, but the resulting dulcet-toned timbres are nevertheless creatures of the dance club, circa now. Standouts like the title track, "Tenderoni," and "Outta Sight" could keep a masquerade ball at Paisley Park hopping, and the shifty "Opening Up (Ce Soir on Danse)" gives male vulnerability a rare dose of charismatic, hip-swishing swagger. Even when Chromeo openly regresses into grade-school buffoonery ("Momma's Boy," "Call Me Up"), little is lost; Fancy Footwork is tailor-made for the turntable, so occasional low-energy numbers and errant odes to teenage insecurity hardly mar the potential for festivity. In all, this album delivers on the promise suggested by 2004's She's in Control: the art of the nostalgic soirée, it seems, is alive and well in Chromeo's native Montreal. Seriously. --Jason Kirk

More Songs About Bein' Chromeo!

As the title suggests, Fancy Footwork is a de-luxe dance album. ZAPPish synth-bass licks and robo-party beats drive a non-stop flow of songs about...yes...dancing. But Chromeo are men of class who like to mix it up, so there are also songs about partyin', songs about datin', and of course, songs about bein' Chromeo.

Old school Chromeo fans-turned-haters will tell you that Fancy Footwork is too studiofied, and while it's true that it doesn't have the warmth and variety of the first album, the slick production works well with the dance-party theme, and makes Chromeo's campy cool vocal delivery all the cooler. That said, the duo aren't too cool to be silly, as proven by the outrageous album cover art, dating advice delivered through talk-boxes, and the Supertramptastic keyboard intro to "Momma's Boy".

Along with the first Junior Senior album, the second Hyperbubble Album, and the third Freezepop album, Fancy Footwork is another great batch of tunes to take along on road trips, as every song's a winner, and the pace never drags. Put on your shades and let the pimptastic beats bump along...

LEAPS & BOUNDS OVER THE FIRST!
While the 1st album was good, this 2nd is where it is @. Soo fun of a listen! Can not wait to hear the deluxe with the additional remixes. Wished i could have seen them @ Bonnaroo. Check out their vidz on youTube!

The guy who give this album 1 star is a douch
If you like well written dance music that is catchy, simple but creative,and really funny... than this one's for you. I am a music student at FSU and I listen to everything from Bach and Brahms to Miles and Coltrane to modern hip hop and everything inbetween, except country music. I just can't get into it. Anyway, this is one of my new favorite albums, it hasn't left my cd player for over a week. If you really despised a lot of the corny dance music that came out in the 80's, you might not like this, but the difference between these guys and 80's music is that in the 80's, people would put out unbelieveably corny records and be completely serious about them, these guys have a real sense of humor and know how to make tunes just cheesy enough to be awesome.
