Hot Chip album talk
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 23 April 2009
Hot Chip have been talking about what their next album will be like, and they’re planning something a bit more mellow than previous outings.
The band’s Joe Goddard told 6Music: “We’re kind of stepping things down a bit because we want to make this next album quite simple, gentle, focussed; just 10 or 11 tracks of really excellent pop songs that hopefully will become timeless classics. They’ll be club tunes but not the really banging ones. But making songs like that always gives you the scope to do a really banging remix, which we’ll probably try and do as well”.
Explaining further, Goddard continued: “We just felt like we wanted to focus on trying to write some really strong pop songs, rather than making hard, aggressive dance floor tracks that have bits of songs bolted onto them. We wanted to start off with some really excellent songs that could be performed in a simple acoustic way or in an electronic, dance style, but the song would be the heart of the music”.
The new LP is expected to be released early next year.
