May 29, 2019 By Christopher Roberts Hot Chip

Hot Chip are releasing a new album, A Bath Full of Ecstasy, on June 21 via Domino. Previously they shared a video for its first single, “Hungry Child” (which was one of our Songs of the Week). Now they have shared another song from it, “Melody of Love,” also via a video for it. Nima Nourizadeh directed the video, which mainly features just the heads of the band members (and other people). Watch it below, followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates.

For A Bath Full of Ecstasy, the band (Owen Clarke, Al Doyle, Joe Goddard, Felix Martin, and Alexis Taylor) worked with outside producers for the first time: France’s Philippe Zdar and Scotland’s Rodaidh McDonald. The album was recorded in Paris and London. Turner-prize winning artist Jeremy Deller and Fraser Muggeridge Studio created the album’s artwork. The album is the follow-up to 2015’s Why Make Sense?, although in 2018 founding member/lead vocalist Alexis Taylor released a new solo album, Beautiful Thing, also via Domino.
