Joe Goddard
Joe Goddard annonce la sortie de Electric Lines son nouvel album solo le 21 avril sur Greco-Roman/Domino.
Le producteur aux nombreuses carrières (membre de Hot Chip et songwritter de the 2 Bears, producteur et DJ nommé aux Grammys comme meilleur remixeur, co-fondateur du label Greco-Roman) multiplie les expériences et développe un sens aigu du dancefloor et un amour pour la musique pop.
On retrouve sur l’album de prestigieuses collaborations : Alexis Taylor sur le titre éponyme de l’album ‘Electric Lines’, le chanteur Daniel Wilson sur le titre disco deep-house ‘Home’. Jess Mills sublime l’album avec ’Ordinary Madness’ et ‘Music Is The Answer’. Joe chante sur quelques titres notamment sur le très personnel ‘So Long’, douce réflexion sur la paternité et la mortalité.
Avec des titres soul électronique (‘Lose Your Love’), UK garage (‘Truth Is The Light’) et techno psychédélique (‘Children’) Electric Lines dessine les contours de la musique en 2017 et installe durablement Joe Goddard comme un des producteurs UK les plus influents et respectés.
English
Joe Goddard, member of Hot Chip and the 2 Bears, songwriter, producer, DJ, remixer and co-founder of the Greco-Roman label. Like Four Tet, Caribou and Jamie xx, Joe combines a thirst for experimentation, an instinctive understanding of the dancefloor and a love of left-of-centre pop music.
During the 1990s, Joe attended Elliott School in Putney, where he met his Hot Chip bandmate Alexis Taylor and his long-time friend Kieran Hebden. As a teenager, he progressed from indie and hip hop to drum’n’bass to house and garage, always thrilled by those moments when underground music infiltrated the charts.
As well as working on six Hot Chip albums and two with Raf Rundell as the 2 Bears, Joe has remixed the likes of Kraftwerk, New Order, Disclosure, Dirty Projectors, the Chemical Brothers, Wiley and Jessie Ware, produced tracks for Franz Ferdinand, Bernard Sumner, Little Boots and Dels, and released a string of solo singles. Gabriel, his haunting 2011 hit with singer Valentina, was his first big success beyond Hot Chip. “It made me feel that I was capable of doing things outside the band,” he says. A keen collaborator, he is set to appear on forthcoming projects from Michael Mayer and Tuff City Kids.
