Hot Chip - Freakout/Release (2022) Album Review

As a fan of the long running UK electronic pop since the start, like many fans I suspect, I expect each new album to garner a couple of great new tracks to the list, whilst being a little too middle of the road to be memorable a year later. That's double the case here- the opening four tracks are the most dynamic and exciting a run the band has had since their probable high point, The Warning, after that however it's a law of diminishing returns.
