Hot Chip live at Bluedot Festival 2019 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
Hot Chip are the latest curators of the LateNightTales series, and are leading off their collection with a cover of The Velvet Underground’s Candy Says.
Also highlighted on the album, released on October 2nd, is music from Suzanne Kraft, Fever Ray, PlanningToRock, Charlotte Adigery, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Beatrice Dillon and Nils Frahm, a compiltation which Alexis Taylor says, ‘represents some of Hot Chip’s favourite music new and old’. “Some of it directly influential on Hot Chip and some of it music we have discovered and loved, been surprised by and connected to,” he adds.
“There are three new songs of ours which we’re really proud of, and which I think connect naturally with the nocturnal world the compilation speaks of, and a cover of Candy Says which is one of the first songs the very early version of Hot Chip played when we were still at school.”
