Hot Chip share "Melody of Love" from new LP
Hot Chip‘s A Bath Full of Ecstacy, is out June 21 and they’ve just shared the album’s new single — and opening cut — “Melody of Love.” The track started as a 12-minute instrumental based around a sample of a song by gospel group The Mighty Clouds of Joy, but with producer Rodaidh McDonald, Hot Chip turned it into their own ecstatic weather pattern. The video, directed by Nima Nourizadeh, is pretty joyous too. Watch that below.
