Hot Chip Share New Single "Freakout/Release"

London electronic/dance band Hot Chip have shared their new single "Freakout/Release".

The song is taken from their upcoming album 'A Bath Full Of Ecstasy', will be out on 19 August 2022 via Domino Records. Pre-order your copy here.

Speaking about it, the band said “Little Gem is about relationships and gardening. We call Lucy [PBE drums and synths] The Emo Gardener. She’d painstakingly cultivate her little greenhouse only to be left distraught when the tomatoes got blight – swearing and weeping by the compost heap. The song is a metaphor for our band's journey. It’s about breaking down, then finding a way around – growing new tunes, cultivating them and sometimes having to start again from scratch.”

The accompanying video, directed by Dylan Friese-Green and Aubrey Simpson, captures the band on the road, crammed into a Nissan Micra, cruising through the English countryside.

The follow-up to 2020's album 'A Bath Full Of Ecstasy', will be out on 19 August 2022 via Domino Rwcords. Pre-order your copy here.

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.”
