Hot Chip is an electronic indie band formed in 2000 in London, England. Members of the band include Alexis Taylor (vocals, synthesizer, guitar, percussion, piano), Joe Goddard (vocals, synthesizer, percussion), Owen Clarke (guitar, bass, synthesizer, percussion), Al Doyle (guitar, backing vocals, synthesizer, percussion, bass, fugelhorn, steel pans) and Felix Martin (drum machines, synthesizer, programming).

Hot Chip return in 2022 with Freakout/Release – the continuation of what, at this point, seems like an impossible run for the band. The British electronic pop legends’ eighth album features new singles 'Down' and 'Eleanor', and captures that giddy feeling of self-expression, a letting out of the tension conjured up by the world at large.

With their witty, affecting songwriting and the immediately recognizable vocals of Alexis Taylor and Joe Goddard, Hot Chip combine indie and dance in innovative ways. On early albums such as 2006's Mercury Prize-nominated The Warning, the band evoked the cleverness of Talking Heads and the poignancy of the Pet Shop Boys. With time, Hot Chip's music broadened and deepened, spawning the tender musings on commitment on 2010's One Life Stand as well as the poly-genre mashups of 2015's Why Make Sense? With only a few hit singles to their name (chief among them the Grammy-nominated "Ready for the Floor" from 2008's Made in the Dark), Hot Chip nevertheless earned a following that allowed them to headline festivals, as reflected by the rave-tinged anthems of 2019's A Bath Full of Ecstasy.
