Operating like a devilish grin, Grammy Award and Mercury Prize nominees Hot Chip have just announced a string of sideshows for when they’re out here in Australia for Falls Festival and Field Day over the new years.
Since 2000, the British electro wunderkids have released five studio albums with mega hits like “Over and Over”, “Boy from School”, “Ready for the Floor” and “One Pure Thought”.
Their latest opus In Our Headsis their most concise and uniformly gorgeous to date – a hedonistic joyride that isn’t afraid to get deep. Ready to play their new starry-eyed tunes live in Australia for the very first time; they’ll make you smile, dance and above all extremely happy to be alive.
Time hasn’t worn out seven-piece, who have retained their sense of humour whilst perfecting a savvy alchemy of dance and modern pop music for over a decade to delighted audiences the world over.
In anticipation of Hot Chip’s return to Australian shores this summer, the band have announced the release of an expanded edition of their hugely acclaimed 5th LP, In Our Heads, available digitally and on double CD on November 16th.
The expanded edition will feature the original, critically acclaimed, Top #20 ARIA album augmented by a bonus disc of demos, rare studio tracks ‘Jelly Babies’ and ‘Doctor’, as well as new and exclusive previously unreleased remixes from Optimo, Daphni and Major Lazer.
