Formed in 2000, The Chap are known for their cheeky humour and indie-electro-pop sound. The British band count fellow genre-bending acts like Hot Chip and Teengirl Fantasy among their fans. Their 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, even as The Chap's music has grown sleeker and more pop-friendly over time. And they've never lost their essential weirdness and deeply sarcastic wit, a combination that's earned them comparisons to Devo and Brian Eno.
