There’s a darkness that runs through a lot of those tracks.”‘Down’, the first single from ‘Freakout/Release’, has been released today (April 19), and you can watch the Douglas Hart and Steve Mackey-directed video for the track above.‘Freakout/Release’ also features contributions from Soulwax, Canadian rapper Cadence Weapon and the London-based DJ and musician Lou Hayter.You can see the tracklist and album artwork for Hot Chip’s ‘Freakout/Release’ below.1. ‘Down’2. ‘Eleanor’3. ‘Freakout/Release’4. ‘Broken’5. ‘Not Alone’6. ‘Hard To Be Funky’ (feat.
