Hot Chip's Alexis Taylor Returns with 'Await Barbarians' Solo Album

BY Josiah HughesPublished Apr 2, 2014

Way back in 2008, Hot Chip mastermind Alexis Taylor released his debut solo offering Rubbed Out. Now, six years later, he's announced an official follow-up.

The LP is called Await Barbarians and features a number of new pop songs from the artist. While we don't have a tracklisting just yet, we do have a lyric video for the album's lead single "Elvis Has Left the Building."

The song, which can be streamed below, is a melancholy mix of slow, soft drum work, pensive piano and Taylor's forlorn vocals.

Await Barbarians will arrive on June 9 via Domino.
