Caught red handed and ready for the (shop) floor, the mighty @Hot_Chip select a few favourite records to steal from our Rough Trade East racks.
Music to listen to in the bath, song titles named after Japanese mayonnaise and some recommended new reading material.
The Joy In Repetition really is in you.

Here’s some never-before-seen footage from the making of ‘Boy From School’ 📚
I wrote the basic idea of ‘Boy From School’ in Joe’s brother’s bedroom - a house I had spent many days and nights in, singing songs and hanging out with Joe, Jazz, Owen and other friends.
After recording the waltz-time Casiotone organ and drum machine version of the song, Joe suggested we turn it into a disco song. So we re-recorded it straight away and added the repeating Vox electric piano riff which runs throughout - which Joe then auto-wahed/phased to bring that distinctive sound. Casiotone MT-70 provided the galloping bassline, lap steel guitar was used for the new bridge section that Joe came up with, and we developed the song fully into the track you hear today - with further work on it over the next weeks. You can see Joe working on various aspects of the song’s percussive groove in this clip filmed by his dad Pete Goddard. - Alexis
