Sunday Drive #373

Hot Chip frontman Alexis Taylor has returned with his sixth album titled “Silence”, which marks his first new solo outing since 2018’s “Beautiful Thing” album. “I’m not religious myself, but the songs which deal with the idea of gospel music or religion, look at it from a distance (rather like the shaky hand-held lens through which we follow the action in Pasolini’s ‘Gospel According To Matthew’) and try to uncover its influence on music and on people in desperate circumstances,” he says. The record’s emotive lead single arrives with a cinematic video, which was shot in the desert by director Brian DeRan.

“Silence” will drop on September 17 via AWAL.
