From the opening lope of โYour Only Life,โ
@alexishotchip โs new LP Paris in the Spring gives you the impression its creator is still figuring things out. On its surface, the album has a silky shimmer to it. Underneath, itโs searching, making sense of midlife, motivation, heartache, hope.
The
@hot.chip co-founder enlists collaborators who operate in a similar register (Nicolas Godin of ๐๐๐ฅ, ๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐ฆ, Green Gartside of ๐ฆ๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐ง๐ ๐ฃ๐ข๐๐๐ง๐ง๐) and channels an eclectic mix of spiritual forebears. Country ballads, soft-focus disco, Sly Stoneโs Rhythm King rumination, David Lynch โ thereโs even a โWild Horsesโ cover. In Taylorโs hands โ and through his voice โ it all flows into something tender and transcendent.
This week, we host Alexis for two shows, in Chicago and San Francisco. Heโll map the albumโs gorgeous, glowing palette into a solo ambient exploration, all paired with projection-mapped visuals.ย
