Hot Chip Report On New Album Progress

Hot Chip have been speaking about the recording of their latest album – the follow-up to 2006’s ‘The Warning.’

Speaking about the forthcoming record, band member Joe Goddard revealed that six of the new tracks on the album have all been recorded live.

He said: “We recorded six songs in January as a live band, which is something we haven't done before much. So they're all going to be on the next record. There's six or seven songs which are pretty much finished which Alexis (Taylor) and I did on my computer.

He added: "We're going to try and knit those two things together. I'm still not sure how that's going to work, but we're going to try that."

Goddard revealed that fans should expect the some “folky songs” on the new record and hinted that the live recordings will differ from the sounds of ‘The Warning.’

He told Stylus Magazine: "The tracks that we recorded live will sound pretty different. They won't have all the stuff from the last two records, such as the tiny bits of percussions and loops because they're live takes. So, they're going to be pretty different, more raw and more distorted and louder.”
