Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard and former Wild Beasts frontman Hayden Thorpe have joined forces to deliver “Unknown Song”, an uplifting and euphoric danceable tune. As we read, the pair’s first collaborative single is intended as a soundtrack for reminiscing, embracing and awaiting those joyous and energetic dancefloor moments for all.
As Thorpe says, “The lockdown has really made it apparent how music allows us to feel a synchronicity with our fellow beings. In the absence of touch, music is that sensual meeting point.” Similarly, Goddard notes: “We are in the midst of a crisis but gaining that new appreciation of dancing together is a small positive that I hope to hold onto after all of this.”
