Freakout/Release is another dizzying high in a multi-decade career that’s seen Hot Chip continuing to innovate and develop a rich, resonant songcraft. And while they continue to operate at peak form, the album also feels like a new chapter for the group—a collection of flesh-and-blood songs that finds the band reaching into the darkness to emerge as a true creative unit, their gazes fixed positively on the future ahead.
“We were living through a period where it was very easy to feel like people were losing control of their lives in different ways,” Joe Goddard explains of the album’s themes. “There’s a darkness that runs through a lot of those tracks.”
