Hot Chip's Joe Goddard has announced a new solo album. Harmonic, and shared a new song from it, “Moments Die,” featuring Brooklyn singer Barrie. It was shared via a video that also features Barrie. Harmonic will be released on July 12 via Domino. Check out the single below, followed by the tracklist and album art.
Harmonic is Goddard's solo album, and in 2021 he also teamed up with New York-based singer/songwriter Amy Douglas as HARD FEELINGS, who released their self-titled debut album through Domino.
Harmonic has several notable collaborators including Ibibio Sound Machine, UK rapper Oranje, former Wild Beasts frontman Hayden Thorpe, Hot Chip bandmates Alexis Taylor and Al Doyle, Jungle's Tom McFarland, Bronx-raised singer Fiorious , Guinean singer Falle Nioke and Britain's Alabaster DePlume.
“With all the different people on this record, I'm working on how to respect their contributions and not try to be the one who has to lead everything,” Goddard says in a press release. “That comes through in the songs I sing. I tried to write words without having much idea of what I was trying to express, where I just write stream of consciousness.”
This open approach extends to the album's title. “Part of the reason I wanted to call it that Harmonic it's that I was trying to create something very inclusive and empathetic, something harmonious,” says Goddard. “There's a lot of aggressive segregation in the world and I wanted this to be loving, romantic and fun.”
Of the new song, Goddard says: “My new single 'Moments Die' features a beautiful vocal contribution from my friend Barrie, which for me is the highlight of my upcoming album. My words were inspired by John Berger's book And our faces, my heart, summarized as photographs.”
The album includes the recent single “New World (Flow),” which is also below.
