Last summer, Hot Chip released their eighth album Freakout/Release, a continuation of what, at this point, seems like an impossible run for the quintet, another dizzying peak in a multi-decade career that’s seen them continue to innovate and develop a rich, resonant songcraft.
 
Not one to rest on their laurels, they now unveil magnificent new single “Fire of Mercy”, featuring Malaysian-Irish producer and songwriter Yunè Pinku.  A classic slice of Hot Chip ennui flecked euphoria, Alexis Taylor and Joe Goddard share vocals as they deliver an emotional gut punch: “Do you ever stop believing / In the things that make you feel like you… Remember life can take a turn in a moment and / Leave you without your own breath to breathe / I need that fire of mercy, rescue me.”
