Hot Chip - Boy From School

About This Episode

<p>Hot Chip is a band from London made up of Alexis Taylor, Joe Goddard, Al Doyle, Owen Clarke, and Felix Martin. Their second album, <em>The Warning</em>, came out in 2006. It was nominated for a Mercury Prize, and named one of the best albums of the year by NME and Pitchfork. And later, NME would include it in their list of best albums of all time. For this episode, I talked to them about one of the songs from <em>The Warning</em> called “Boy From School.” You might have heard it in the second season of the show <em>Beef</em> on Netflix—the band’s also in the show—or you might have heard it on <em>The Simpsons</em>. You could have also heard the song in my car all the time in 2006. So I was very excited to talk to Alexis and Joe from Hot Chip about how “Boy from School” was made.</p><p>For more info, visit songexploder.net/hot-chip.</p>
