Critiques CD: Chromeo | Business Casual

This new effort finds the duo digging inspiration in new places, like ‘70s variété française on their first French song, “J’ai claqué la porte,” or ‘80s versions of rockabilly music with “Grow Up.” But the main point of expansion in Chromeo’s musical evolution is the closer attention to detail throughout the album. Sounds, harmonies and chord progressions are interwoven into more complex arrangements, but it doesn’t compromise the light-hearted essentials of the group. The funk is still present, well done fellas.
