Exclusively tailored in places, planes, hotel rooms and at home — fifteen bespoke songs and instrumentals from the Hot Chip.

This debut solo recording of the Hot Chip is a scrapbook of fifteen songs and instrumentals, made in planes, hotel rooms and at home, with bags of charm and inventiveness.

A last testament, previously unreleased, authoritatively covering the bases during a break from the life sentence which saw him die in jail of pneumonia, two years later. James Brown’s favourite singer.

Nice gospelized harmonies… with a touch of The Lecture to the flip-side sufferers.

Traditional and theatre music from Vietnam, the celebrated singer mazily leading dan tranh zither, dan bau monochord, sao flute, dan kim lute, dan co fiddle, and trong percussion.

The Cape Verdean’s pure, intimate voice in a range of percussion-based settings, with some great trombone and accordion too.

Elegant, serene, new-wave, profoundly tuneful playing, with accompaniment from Abhijit Banerjee’s tabla and Sudipta Remy’s tampura.

Tremendous, wild and highly charged music from Crete, completely compelling across a range of moods and styles, with brilliant lyra playing by the leader.
