Alexis Taylor will release a new album, ‘Piano’, this summer.
The record, which is out on June 10 through Moshi Moshi, finds the Hot Chip man stripping things back to just piano and voice. Discussing it, he said:
“I had always wanted to make a loose and to some extent unplanned piano record – partly inspired by an un-made but suggested Alex Chilton solo piano LP that a friend of mine told me about 15 years ago or so. I began one a few years back which then morphed into the second About Group LP – but the idea stayed in the back of my mind all the while.
“The idea with this record was to choose songs of my own and others’ that were personal to me and to document live performances which were intimate and unadorned. I wanted to reduce everything to the barest elements, record a great piano well and do as little as possible to the recordings eq or effects-wise. The mood created on the record is pretty different from that on other records I have been involved with. It feels like a special place to be able to go to.”
Check out a song from it, I’m Ready, below. Taylor will play a London show at Burgh House on June 15 and join Scritti Politti in Cardiff as part of the Festival of Voice.
