‘Need You Now’ video still

With the forthcoming release of the highly anticipated sixth album Why Make Sense? on May 19, Hot Chip today share their latest single ‘Need You Now, ’accompanied online with a video directed by Shynola<https://vimeo.com/shynola/videos> (Radiohead, Blur, Beck). PRESS HERE<http://po.st/NeedYouNow> to view the video.

“We share a lot of the same references and attitudes - there’s a definite aesthetic affinity,” say Shynola of Hot Chip. “The idea for the video wholly came from our reaction to the song. What was intended to be a piece of thrifty filmmaking ended up being a mind-melting shoot - if you can imagine shooting multiple versions of reality, but completely out of chronology, plus in the pissing rain and wind.”

Why Make Sense? was recorded in Oxfordshire and London and produced by Hot Chip with Mark Ralph. The album will be available on all standard formats as well as a Special Edition available for a limited time only, featuring a bonus Separate EP with 4 new tracks recorded during the album sessions. Due to a unique and bespoke printing technique which has never been used before, the new album Why Make Sense? will come in one of 501 different colors making every cover unique.
