Hot Chip are a British electronic music band formed in London, in 2000. They have released six studio albums: Coming on Strong (2004), The Warning (2006), Made in the Dark (2008), One Life Stand (2010), In Our Heads (2012), and Why Make Sense? (2015). The group has also been nominated for the Mercury Prize.
Early formative releases included the Mexico EP on Victory Garden Records (VG14), and the self released San Frandisco CD.
After years of self-releasing records, they signed with Moshi Moshi in 2003 and released their debut LP Coming on Strong in 2004. During this period, they were joined by Felix Martin and Al Doyle. They started working on their second album and signed a UK & US record deal with DFA Records and EMI. DFA and Astralwerks released their debut album for the first time in the US in late 2005.
In 2006, Hot Chip released their second album, The Warning. Now signed to EMI in the UK, the band gained more mainstream appeal as well as the attention of critics. The album was shortlisted for the 2006 Nationwide Mercury Prize and was Mixmag's Album of the Year 2006. This album spawned also two UK top forty singles: "Over and Over" in March 2006 and "Boy from School" in May 2006. "Over and Over" received attention for its music video, which was directed by Nima Nourizadeh, and was also named as the best single of 2006 by British music magazine NME.
In the privacy of our love
There is nothing outside our love
In the privacy of our love
We're in each other as hand in glove
In the privacy of our love
There is nothing outside, above
If there's nothing outside, above
We're in the privacy of our love
I've never seen your love again
I'll never be your love for sure
I've never seen your love again
I'll never be your love for sure
I've never seen your love again
I'll never be your love for sure
Except for that day
Except for that day
Except for that day
