Hot Chip have delivered their newest offering this year, "Fire of Mercy" featuring London-based electronic artist Yunè Pinku. The song follows their song "Line In The Sound," released in March, with Brian Eno and goddess.
The soft-sung single is an introspective exploration of believing in yourself. “'Fire of Mercy’ relates to the central concept of William Blake’s ‘Songs of Experience,’" said Joe Goddard in a statement. "It bemoans the corruption that inevitably comes from adulthood and longs for a return to the purity of childhood."
