Hot Chip's Alexis Taylor has been releasing solo music for quite a while now, and today he's announced his next LP. Paris In The Spring arrives in March with a stacked list of guest collaborators: Air’s Nicolas Godin, the Avalanches, Étienne de Crécy, Pierre Rousseau (Paradis), Ewan Pearson, Elizabeth Wight of Pale Blue, Oli Bayston, and Scritti Politti’s Green Gartside. Also out today is the record's lead single "Out Of Phase" featuring musician/actor Lola Kirke.
Taylor has this to say about the new album:
Sometimes an audience wants to be told, what is this? And I’m refusing to do that. You can find great things in music when you open up to real listening. No one needs to be told ‘what something is’, otherwise why would we be making something so straightforward? Be ready to be surprised, to find something new in music, and let the music resonate with you.
"Out Of Phase" pairs country-inspired vocal melodies with dance-pop instrumentals, and you can check out Will Kindrick's video for it below.
