Hot Chip share new song "Melody of Love"

Hot Chip share new song "Melody of Love"

On June 21st, Hot Chip will release their dynamic new album A Bath Full Of Ecstasy; a fresh, invigorating and essential new chapter in the band's career, it finds the band working with external producers for the first time, Philippe Zdar and Rodaidh McDonald.

Following their incredible performance at All Points East festival last week, the band have shared a second song from their forthcoming record, “Melody of Love”.

The album’s opening track, “Melody of Love” began life as a 12-minute instrumental track featuring a sample from the gospel group The Mighty Clouds of Joy. Under the eye of McDonald, the group turned it into a bombastic explosion of Technicolor pop. The song is about the importance of the transformative, non-verbal moment – ecstasy as personal happiness, but also of transcendence, of being outside oneself.


After a summer of festivals, Hot Chip will head out on their biggest tour yet in autumn, with new shows confirmed including London’s Alexandra Palace. Additionally, the band have announced instores in Kingston and London – details below.
