Hot Chip

Informazioni su Hot Chip

Hot Chip's position as one of Britain's most beloved electronic bands is now firmly & magnificently set in stone, as is the group's ability to mix the highest strobe-lit euphoria with the most reflective kind of headphones melancholy. Having produced eight albums, an infinite number of mixes & borderline devotional live performances, Hot Chip have claimed the sweet spot of the dancefloor as their own. With their witty, affecting songwriting & the immediately recognisable vocals of Alexis Taylor & Joe Goddard, Hot Chip combine indie & dance in innovative ways. On early albums such as 2006's Mercury Prize-nominated The Warning, the bands evoked the cleverness of Talking Heads & the poignancy of the Pet Shop Boys. As time went on, Hot Chip's music broadened & deepened, encompassing the tender musings on commitment of 2010's One Life Stand as well as the anything-goes genre mashups of 2015's Why Make Sense? With the hit singles including Grammy-nominated "Ready for the Floor" from 2008's Made in the Dark as well as ‘Over & Over’ & ‘Boy From School’ from ‘The Warning, Hot Chip earned a following that allowed them to headline festivals; reflected by the rave-tinged anthems of 2019's A Bath Full of Ecstasy. In 2022, the bands returned with Freakout/Release - a collection of flesh & blood songs that find the band reaching into darkness to emerge as a true creative unit, their gazes fixed positively on the future ahead - evidence that the bands’s not even close to slowing down.
