Hot Chip have confirmed details of a new album and shared the first single. Freakout/Release is the group’s eighth studio effort and is accompanied by “Down,” which can be streamed below. The song features a sample of Universal Togetherness Band’s “More Than Enough” and comes with a video directed by Douglas Hart and Steve Mackey.
Freakout/Release is due August 19 and was written and recorded in the band’s Relax & Enjoy studio in East London. It is the follow-up to 2019’s A Bath Full Of Ecstasy. Guests on the album include Cadence Weapon (on “The Evil That Men Do”) and Lou Hayter, who sings on “Hard to Be Funky.” Soulwax, meanwhile, co-produced the album title track.
A press release notes that the band’s cover of Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage,” a regular in their live sets, acted as an unlikely influence on the direction of the album. “The idea of being out of control is always there in dance music, in a positive sense,” Al Doyle says in a statement. Joe Goddard, meanwhile, adds: “We were living through a period where it was very easy to feel like people were losing control of their lives in different ways. There’s a darkness that runs through a lot of those tracks.”
