Hot Chip - Joy In Repetition - VINYL LP

In 2008, Hot Chip released Made In The Dark, wild pop record that refused to sit still. The album rose to #4 in the UK charts with single 'Ready For The Floor' breaking into the UK Top Ten and earning a Grammy nomination. While their previous efforts were effectively bedroom studio albums, Hot Chip wanted to capture the chemistry of their live show in the recording sessions. Despite being originally signed to a major tag, the band had an unprecedented level of autonomy. InchWe were excited by the idea of doing something strange and vibrant,Inch says Joe Goddard. InchThis record was a lot about freedom to experiment and make whatever kind of take on pop music that we wanted to make,Inch - Alexis Taylor.InchWe'd kicked the doors in and now we were at the party,Inch says bandmember Owen Clarke.Reissued here on 2xLP and CD for the first time ever since it's in a deluxe embossed gatefold sleeve with new liner notes by Kate Hutchinson.

By 2010's One Life Stand, Hot Chip had evolved. There'd been collaborations with legends like Peter Gabriel and Robert Wyatt, various solo albums and side projects, and, personally, settling down. They'd been touring the world for 10 years and reaching global audiences. As the decade drew to a close, Hot Chip began to take stock. Their songwriting had always been emotionally resonant but on their fourth studio album, it took on a newfound maturity, with themes of domesticity and devotion. The result was One Life Stand, Hot Chip's most concise album to date 10 songs that put melody front and centre. It's clearer and more direct, while outside collaborators infused the sessions with a new energy, fueled by anthems like 'I Feel Better' and the eponymous single 'One Life Stand'.Reissued here for the first time ever since it's with new liner notes by Kate Hutchinson.

Freakout / - Double vinyl - Hot Chip - The 8th studio album from Hot Chip, Freakout/ 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.
