HOT CHIP - JOY IN REPETITION(BLACK VINYL)

Now, after over two decades, Hot Chip have decided the time is right to release their first Best Of. Joy in Repetition follows their evolution through the deep-fryer, from DIY beginnings to through to the present day, this collection captures eight studio albums' worth of their signature blend of pop hooks and dancefloor energy.

More than two decades and eight studio albums in, Hot Chip remain as vital as ever: playful, profound and perpetually locked in the groove. They now present their first Best Of album, Joy In Repetition will be released on September 5th. Mapping out an artistic evolution from DIY beginnings into “the greatest British pop group of their generation” (The Guardian) and list of collaborators that includes David Byrne, Jarvis Cocker, Robert Wyatt and Brian Eno.

Joy In Repetition is a collection shaped by dancefloors, bedroom studios, festival stages and friendship. The record’s title – alluding to both the lyrics of their career-defining track and one of Alexis Taylor’s favourite Prince songs – captures something elemental about the band: a fascination with rhythm, but also the exuberant act of making those things, together, over and over and over and over and over. In another nod to Over and Over, the album’s artwork by the legendary Peter Blake features a painted monkey with a miniature cymbal.
