Apr 01, 2015 By Trevor Flynn Hot Chip

British electronic group Hot Chip have just released the music video for their new single, “Need You Now.”

The song features a driving beat and a soul diva crooning the chorus from the living room television. The video itself, directed by Shynola, is very trippy and thought-provoking as it portrays the same man in many similar, yet different incarnations and positions in the wake of a break-up.

Hot Chip’s forthcoming album, Why Make Sense? will be released on May 19 via Domino.
