The Round Table

Today Chromeo unveiled the cover art for their upcoming third album, Business Casual, which will be released on September 14th via Atlantic Records. The electrofunk duo will head out on the road to support Business Casual with a  North American tour, which kicks off next Monday, July 26th in Washington, DC at the 9:30 Club.

The band’s first single, “Don’t Turn The Lights On” is currently available for purchase on iTunes and you can give it a listen below thanks to our friends at Cornerstone.

Full tour dates after the jump. Let’s see if FT’s head explodes by the mere thought of Chromeo taking part in the “Twilight Concert Series” on August 19th!

The Hype Machine recently pulled together a list of the top 50 artists of 2009 (culled from how many times blogs on their site posted songs by them) and invited 50 different artists to create a piece of art based on each one. The result is a mix of digital, pencil, paint, collage and just about everything else. It’s definitely worth taking a look through.

My favorites were Sebastien Tellier, Franz Ferdinand and the Flaming Lips. Thanks to super-reader MWOWW for sharing it with me. Check it out here.
