Hot Chip have released a new single called Eleanor.
Arriving hot on the heels of their Down remixes, the synth-laden pop track serves as the second single from their upcoming eighth LP, 'Freakout/Release', due out on August 19 via Domino.
"It’s about the world smashing into you, waves crashing into you, all-encompassing pain, and how you have to walk through it," Alexis Taylor said of the song in a statement. "The verses are about separation when families are divided against their will. It’s about strong friends. It’s also about Samuel Beckett giving Andre The Giant lifts to school, and about how Beckett must have learned a lot from Andre’s wisdom."
The group — Owen Clarke, Al Doyle, Joe Goddard, Felix Martin and Alexis Taylor — will play a short run of UK instore shows in August, ahead of four dates at London's O2 Academy Brixton as part of their European tour.
They also head to Beat Herder in Clitheroe, Junction 1 Summer Series in Glasgow, and Wide Skies And Butterflies in Norfolk this summer.
