Chromeo to Collaborate with Hall And Oates

Inside source on all things indie, Pitchfork, alleges that Montreal's funk-R&B duo Chromeo will be working on a forthcoming record with veterans Hall and Oates. While we haven't seen news of this collaboration elsewhere, it makes sweet love to our imagination's ears so we'll go along with it.
