Await Barbarians

Alexis Taylor's (lead singer of Hot Chip) second solo album, Await Barbarians is a series of songs "from the halfway line." Possessing the same immediacy as his music with Hot Chip and the adventurousness of his work with About Group, there is a unique emotional condor to his solo work. As always with Taylor's writing the moments of honesty are matched with a sense of humour, playfulness and bounce.
