*EARLY BIRD TIX ON SALE FRIDAY 4 OCTOBER @ 9 A.M*British electronic pop legends Hot Chip are heading to Froth Craft Bunbrewery to DJ the venue, Sunday 29 December 2024. Hot Chip are touring internationally off the back of their multi-decade career that's seen them continue to innovate and develop a rich, resonant songcraft with 8 studio albums. Expect an excellent party littered with dance classics and Hot Chip tunes.
Over the last 18 years, Hot Chip have established themselves among similar British luminaries like Pet Shop Boys and Depeche Mode — a true gap-bridging between the worlds of pop and dance music, with a catalog of songs that move bodies and touch hearts with equal impact. Following on from a dazzling four night residency at the prestigious Brixton Academy this fall, the eleven songs on Freakout/Release are evidence that the band's not even close to slowing down — even as it's clear that the weight of the world has seeped into these tunes' nooks and crannies.
Freakout/Release was written and recorded in the band's newly minted studio, Relax & Enjoy in East London, a creative space that Al Doyle put together before and during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"It was a space I built with making Hot Chip records in mind," he explains. "As a group of people, we're quite impatient — it's not always fun when you're in the studio and it's taking time to set something up before you can execute an idea. Everything's on all the time, and it's very easy to capture what we're doing."
The band's previous work with late producer and Cassius member Phillippe Zdar, who helped produce A Bath Full of Ecstasy, also served as their creative guiding light while ginning up the concoctions on Freakout/Release. "To be able to take his influence to Al's studio helped us be ourselves — to be a band, instead of scratching our heads," Taylor says — and Freakout/Release captures that giddy feeling of self-expression, a letting out of the tension conjured up by the world at large. "These songs take anxiety and trepidation and try to refocus those feelings towards positive release," Doyle says, and it's an infectious feeling that listeners will find truly irresistible.
