Hot Chip have teamed up with producer and songwriter Yunè Pinku.
Hot Chip have followed up last year’s eighth studio album Freakout/Release with the release of a brand new single entitled Fire Of Mercy which is related to, ‘the central concept of William Blake’s Songs Of Experience’, according to Joe Goddard:
It bemoans the corruption that inevitably comes from adulthood and longs for a return to the purity of childhood.
