Illustration by Rami Afifi Today, Hot Chip are pleased to announce their brand new single “Straight To The Morning” featuring the inimitable Jarvis Cocker. Produced by the band and Mark Ralph, the song is a transportive tonic of fresh, modern disco that harks back (& hopefully forward) to carefree communion on the dancefloor. Watch the “Straight To The Morning” video featuring Jarvis Cocker HERE Stream “Straight To The Morning” HERE Originally written with Dua Lipa in mind, the track found a new life amidst a collaboration that sprang from Hot Chip and Jarvis Cocker DJing together at Paris’ legendary Les Bains-Douches. The quintet said of working with Cocker: “‘Straight To The Morning’ is a disco anthem about going out, for a time when people really can’t, and it features our friend Jarvis Cocker urging us to go ‘straight through until the break of dawn.’ Somehow he seems an unlikely figure in this all, and we like it that way.” Jarvis adds: “This was the very last musical session I was involved in before lockdown. It felt very poignant to be singing a song about dancing all night long in a club whilst knowing it wouldn’t be possible to do such a thing for the foreseeable future. We danced around the studio quite a lot in the meantime though. It was fun to be a member of the Straight Through Crew for a day.” The video for “Straight To The Morning” is as infectious as the track. A CANADA production and directed by Réalité, it features a group of girls indulging in their own form of hedonism whilst their parents are away: daft and daring internet challenges, mattress fights, karaoke and all the snacks, all at once. The new single will be getting a limited edition 10” vinyl release featuring the original track, the Mighty Mouse Remix and “Straight To The Morning” playing cards. Due for release on January, 15, 2021, it’s available for preorder from Dom Mart HERE.

The quintet also recently released a Late Night Tales mix, featuring a cover of The Velvet Underground’s “Candy Says” and four new songs of their own. It follows on from the release of their seventh album A Bath Full of Ecstasy last summer and subsequent remix album.

It might just be the best iteration of Hot Chip yet." - STEREOGUM “Hot Chip have proved their ability to satisfy the human desire for the rhythms we can’t resist, but they also deliver a level of wisdom often lacking in dance music." - PASTE “Pure bliss.” - CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND “Hot Chip have grown from their quirky roots into a highly consistent band with a strong, romantic sense of songwriting and ever-inventive, danceable production that continues to evolve” - BROOKLYN VEGAN “Bath is essential listening for dance fans who enjoy a human touch atop pulsing electronic beats." - BILLBOARD “showcases all the brilliance we've come to expect from these guys, along with some new flourishes that prove this band's consistent ability to surprise” - POP MATTERS “Hot Chip works a groove like nobody’s business...Hot Chip’s music is almost like secular gospel, a joyous examination of life, warts and all, that comes down firmly on the side of humanity” - SLANT “[Hot Chip] have been put on this planet to create beautiful, awe-inspiring packages of synth pop and alternative dance, a charge that A Bath Full of Ecstasy more than delivers on.” - UNDER THE RADAR A Bath Full of Ecstasy is available to buy on vinyl, CD and digitally.
