Hot Chip‘s Alexis Taylor will release new solo album Paris in the Spring on Friday and as one last preview he’s shared “I Can Feel Your Love” which is a collaboration with The Avalanches that also features contributions from Étienne de Crécy.
“Sometimes you can feel another’s love – you can sense it. It can be powerful even if not expressed in words. Sometimes love can be like being in awe of something, or someone – and this is my take on devotional music”, says Alexis. “It’s about that dialogue with the impossible, the out of reach, the thing or person that is beyond you; a spiritual connection. The music that The Avalanches sent – which was made up of gospel samples – really reached me, so it figured that my lyrics touch upon these themes. It also had this disco vibe that was really uplifting. It’s a euphoric-sounding song, I think. Additional tracking of the song’s brand new chorus idea, which I had on the streets of Paris, was done with the wonderful Étienne de Crécy at his studio.”
You can watch the video, which was directed by ex-Horrors keyboardist Tom Furse, below.
Alexis has also announced a few US solo shows for the album, including NYC’s Night Club 101 on May 7 and tickets are on sale. He’s also playing LA’s Zebulon on May 10, and doing immersive “Reflections” shows at churches in Chicago and San Francisco. All dates are listed below.
