Hot Chip stream ‘Why Make Sense?’ title-track on suitably non-sensical website

Think the outcome of this year’s election is confusing? Wait until you see Hot Chip’s take on things.

The group have re-imagined the BBC News website in order to stream ‘Why Make Sense?’, the title-track from their new record.

It involves standard words having their letters jumbled, so that headlines read (for example): “UK patry laeedrs cast tehir votes” and “How to vtoe on polling day”. It makes today’s election fever look slightly sinister, actually.

Backing the confusion is the track itself, a similarly ominous swansong for the band’s new LP, which comes out 18th May on Domino. Listen here.

Hot Chip play the following sold out UK dates this month:

MAY
12 Glasgow, School of Art
13 Manchester, Gorilla
14 London, Oval Space
