Product Overview
Hot Chip - Freakout / Release (CD ALBUM (1 DISC)) > Freakout/Releaseis 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. Freakout/Releasewas written and recorded in the band's newly minted Relax & Enjoy studio in East London, helping them establish the album's lively, full-band sound. Harnessing Hot Chip's irreplicable live energy in a studio space was in the front of the band's mind, as they found themselves particularly inspired by their cover of Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" that's become a setlist staple. The five piece –comprised of Owen Clarke, Al Doyle, Joe Goddard, Felix Martin and Alexis Taylor –also share the first cut from the record, the album's vibrant and expansive opening track"Down".
