Formed in 2000, The Chap are known for their cheeky humour and indie-meets-electronica sound. The band can count fellow genre-bending acts like Hot Chip and Teengirl Fantasy among their fans. The five-piece's early releases combined raucous guitars and driving Krautrock rhythms with synthpop hooks and indie-pop melodies, and those have remained key elements of the band's style, though The Chap's music has grown sleeker and more accessible over time. But they've never lost their essential weirdness and deeply sarcastic wit, a combination that's earned them comparisons to Devo and Brian Eno.
