Alexis Taylor has set it for release on September 17th.

Hot Chip‘s Alexis Taylor has confirmed the details of his sixth solo album Silence.

“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.

A video is out for the album’s first single Dying In Heaven, directed by Brian DeRan:

“Over the last year or so, confined to our homes and restricted in our activities, many of us have spent more time alone than we ever imagined, or wanted, facing a test of our resolve in extraordinary circumstances, and compelled to confront ourselves.”

The new LP will be performed live at Dalston’s Rio Cinema on September 16th.
