A mainstay in the UK electronic scene for over twenty years, founding Hot Chip member Joe Goddard is set to launch his new solo album Harmonics this July. At once unpredictable yet always reliable when it comes to dishing up a killer tune, Goddard here runs the gamut from UK garage to disco, with smatterings of house, hip hop, and pop to boot. With a fantasy dinner party's offering of guests including Ibibio Sound Machine's Eno Williams, UK rapper Oranje, a welcome return from ex-Wild Beasts frontman Hayden Thorpe, and Goddard's Hot Chip bandmates, Harmonics is shaping up to be one heck of a tasty aural treat. - Flying Out
Harmonics - the new album from Hot Chip founding member Joe Goddard - is a record rooted in warmth, instinct and empathy. Across 14 tracks of left-of-centre dance music – touching on UK garage, house, hip-hop, pop, and disco – Goddard opens the floor for a number of collaborators. The voice of Ibibio Sound Machine’s Eno Williams rides the afro-house groove of 'Progress', while starry-eyed boom-bap track 'When Love’s Out of Fashion' features UK rapper Oranje. Former Wild Beasts frontman Hayden Thorpe lends his uniquely expressive vocal to the low-slung house of 'Summon', and Joe’s Hot Chip bandmates Alexis Taylor and Al Doyle both appear on the gleaming half-step ballad 'Heal Your Mind'.
