Hot Chip released their eighth studio album “Freakout/Release” via Domino Records last summer. Today, the band return with a magnificent new single “Fire of Mercy,” featuring Malaysian-Irish producer and songwriter Yunè Pinku.

“’Fire of Mercy’ relates to the central concept of William Blake’s ‘Songs of Experience’ - it bemoans the corruption that inevitably comes from adulthood and longs for a return to the purity of childhood.” Yunè Pinku adds: “Massive honour to work with Hot Chip as they’re huge legends within the electronic world. When they played me Fire of Mercy and asked me to jump on the track, I was thrilled to work with them.” - Joe Goddard

The band will return to the United States for a headlining show at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Palladium as well as a set at San Francisco’s Portola Fest this September.
