One Pure Thought

"One Pure Thought" is a song by British electronic group Hot Chip, which serves as the third single from their 2008 album Made in the Dark.

The video, directed by Bevis Martin (brother of Hot Chip member Felix Martin) and Charlie Youle, was described as having an "animated band performing in a pointillist world populated by simple geometric shapes, the kind of place Roy Lichtenstein might have liked to hang out in.

[3] However, Pitchfork Media said that it opens with "gnarled guitar chords and keening synths" and described the song as "infectious".

[5] Digital Spy said the vocals were "impossibly charming [...] choirboy vocals" and described the song as eccentric with an "unmistakably Hot Chip concoction of rock guitar riffs, electro atmospherics and digital calypso rhythms".

[6][7] Boomkat.com said the song "gets all the electronic stuff right but sounds rather flimsy when it comes to vocals and guitar, which as per usual are a bit of a shambles".
