The Chemical Brothers have released their new track, “Live Again“, featuring vocals from Halo Maud (Heavenly Recordings). Following their recently released single “No Reason”, the new song is taken from the tenth Chemical Brothers album, due later this year.
Live Again begins simply with a descending, filtered riff and a pair of contrasting vocal lines – one razor spliced to pieces and reconstructed, the other an angel’s sigh. And then it all kicks off. What follows is a speeding rollercoaster of skittering rhythm, monolithic noise and blissful harmony, of ping-ponging analogue noise and cascading voices. It’s a perfect Chemical Brothers track – unstoppable, resolutely hopeful and, once heard, utterly unshakable.
The Chemical Brothers play a series of previously announced European/UK live dates across the summer and into the autumn.
