Iconic UK group give fun and funky latest single from forthcoming eighth album.

More Hot Chip More Hot Chip

With the release of Freakout/Release, Hot Chip’s incoming new full-length just around the corner next month, the British group today deliver their next single, the upbeat and uplifting sounds of Eleanor. 

Vocalist Alexis Taylor explains “It’s about the world smashing into you, waves crashing into you, all-encompassing pain, and how you have to walk through it. The verses are about separation when families are divided against their will. It’s about strong friends.

It’s also about Samuel Beckett giving Andre The Giant lifts to school, and about how Beckett must have learned a lot from Andre’s wisdom.

To be a fly on the car window of that ride... Give Eleanor a spin and get excited for the album next month!
