Chromeo is P-Thugg and Dave 1: best friends since their adolescence, virtuoso musicians, and walking hip hop encyclopedias. After spending the years since the release of their debut album, She's In Control, jet-setting, globetrotting, and embarking on an overall sensual conquest of planet earth, Chromeo headed back to their Montreal lab to put together album number deux.

The result, Fancy Footwork, is quite simply the most smoothed-out, hook-heavy, unabashed lovers' funk since…Chromeo's last album, actually. What makes this footwork so fancy, you ask? Step the f*ck off and open your heart to the finest distillation of Minneapolis groove this side of Mazarati. Dave and Pee are here to heal the fractured soul of dance music. Teenage lovers, 20 something blogpoders, 30 something burn-out ex-raver "graphic designers" and 40 something ladies can all finally party under one roof...and that roof has a name, AND that roof is on fire, and the only ones who can put out that funk-fire also happen to be the guys the roof is named after: CHROMEO.

Does analog synth wizard P-Thugg still rock nightgown-sized DipSet t-shirts, talk through a keyboard, and have the thousand-yard stare of a well-practiced gangster? You bet he f*cking does. Does vocalist and guitarist Dave 1 still dress like a French Lit professor from 1965? Can he still ask you to twerk without coming off like an imposter? You better believe he can.

Chromeo is slick. Chromeo is dripping with reverb. Chromeo is Moog riffs, luxurious harmonies, macho guitar solos and real-deal songcraft. From the dancefloor-ready singles "Fancy Footwork" and "Tenderoni," to the autobiographical ballad "Momma's Boy," to the epic sax-laden album closer "100%," Fancy Footwork rolls you through a sleek, melodic world where all you need to worry about is whether you've got your sunglasses on and the right moves to keep up. Remember the debate when Chromeo first came on the scene? The endless back and forth about whether those boys were joking or not? Well, a year has passed since its 2007 release and Fancy Footwork has put any vestigial haters to sleep forever.
