Joe Goddard of Hot Chip fame has announced a new 14-track LP, Harmonics, which is set to arrive on July 12 via the always trusty Domino. The electronic musician’s third solo album is preceded by lead single “Moments Die,” which features Barrie. The cathartic dance track—which was inspired by John Berger’s book And Our Faces, My Heart, Brief as Photos—twinkles with contemplative synth notes before a pulsing drum groove gives accent to the sampled vocal chop and Barrie’s omnipresent vocal line.
The album, according to a press release, finds Goddard trying to “get more in touch with his own intuition.” He explained it as: “[t]his idea of trying to divorce your conscious mind from the music-making process—not trying to force meaning on the music or your collaborators, allowing that process to be very empathetic.”
