Alexis Taylor

Alexis Taylor is one of the UK’s most distinctive singer-songwriters. With each release outside of pop giants Hot Chip, he has moved effortlessly between intimate recital music (2016’s Piano), improvised music with About Group, avant-electronica (2018’s Beautiful Thing) and chamber pop (2021’s Silence). He continues to be as relevant as ever, having just celebrated 25 years with Hot Chip. As well as significant milestones, Taylor remains a prolific producer, remixer and collaborator, appearing on key releases this year from HAAi and Superpitcher, remixing Paul Weller and linking up with French touch pioneer Fred Falke & Zen Freeman (Ampersounds). A singular voice, he’s built a substantial body of solo work over the years. But his seventh release, ‘Paris In The Spring’, feels like his magnum opus.
