Hot Chip @ Leadmill, Sheffield, 10/6/2012 for The Fly

“Remember where we started out?” Alexis Taylor asks on the silky smooth ‘Look At Where We Are’. It’s an interesting question for the Hot Chip frontman to ask at his band’s live comeback, in Sheffield of all places, on the eve of the release of their fifth album. Because these days a Hot Chip album isn’t only of interest to awkward indie obsessives – ‘In Our Heads’ hitting the shelves is an event that’s of interest  to fanatical fanboys  and Top 40 followers alike.
