And from that quiet beginning of organ sounds and that skipping beat and Goddard's meditative vocal, the song lifts you into a gigantic chorus that is completely unlike anything else Hot Chip ever wrote. Sometimes, you've gotta earn your way to writing something as unabashed and yearning as that chorus, a cavernous 'Oh-oh' backdrop that lodges itself in your head forever the first time you hear it. It's a song of yearning, but when it gets to that chorus, it erupts into pure euphoria.\"\n\nHot Chip visited KEXP in 2019.
