Hot Chip Dish Out A Warning To Australia

Sydney, AU (EMI MUSIC AUSTRALIA) - Hot Chip are, Alexis Taylor, Joe Goddard, Al Doyle, Owen Clarke and Felix Martin and they release their new album, 'The Warning' on Saturday May 27.

'The Warning' is an amalgamation of great songwriting and forward-thinking pop-production. It's an honest record - emotionally and sonically, made by people exploring sound in the warmth of home, not studio, and it is a brittle pairing of voices which sing of LOVE, COLOURS, LOSS, and WARNINGS.

Alexis Taylor and Joe Goddard began to work on the album in earnest. Out of the tension of these sessions, with the two songwriters / producers pulling against one another, there eventually emerged some great moments of beauty, laughter, love and slaughter. Where one man cannot talk of his pain, another can record it. And then mess with it. Then you get Owen in to mash into the guitar like nobody else. And while Felix is pushing synthesizers through a 'Machinedrum', quick, record him while he's not looking, and Al can come over all Eno/Manzanera - he's got nimble fingers and vocal chords. It'll work, don't worry. This became Hot Chip's 'creative process'. And it really did work. But be careful, it's crazy in there...

'The Warning' features the new single 'Over & Over' and is perhaps Hot Chip's most immediate and monstrous single to date, delivering a sly dig to those who heard them as too 'chilled out' first time round. The combination of Joe's lolloping and infectious beat and Alexis's delivery of lyrics; 'Laid back? We'll give you laid back!', this wry sardonic repose offers both an indication as to their immaculately layered pop voyeurism, whilst simultaneously driving the point home with the remorseless, relentless repetition we know and love.
Hot Chip also play live, they have toured the UK with people like LCD Soundsystem, Mylo, Stereolab & recently Goldfrapp and played their own shows/tours too of course. They will be doing stuff like that all year.
