Paris In The Spring
Paris In The Spring is Alexis Taylorâs most open-hearted and expressive solo statement to date, showcasing the Hot Chip frontman at his most adventurous and unguarded. Known as one of the UKâs most distinctive singer-songwriters, Taylor leans fully into emotional honesty here, pairing deeply personal themes with music that feels light-filled, elegant and quietly euphoric.
Sonically, the album drifts through refined disco-house grooves, warm basslines and cinematic, Vangelis-tinged synth textures, creating a sound that feels both contemporary and timeless. Beneath its bright surface, Paris In The Spring explores ideas of perception, freedom and emotional complexity â inspired by the psychological test of the same name, where nothing is quite what it first appears. As Taylor suggests, itâs an album that rewards listening closely, searching for what lies beneath.
A true collaborative project, the record features contributions from an inspired cast including Nicolas Godin (Air), The Avalanches, Lola Kirke, Ătienne de CrĂ©cy, Green Gartide (Scritti Politti), Elizabeth White (Pale Blue) and more. These voices help shape an album that feels expansive yet cohesive, blending elements of pop melodicism, futuristic funk, country-tinged storytelling and electronic sophistication.
Pressed on vinyl LP, Paris In The Spring is a richly textured, genre-defying release that captures Alexis Taylor embracing freedom â from expectation, from genre boundaries, and from constraint â resulting in a record that feels playful, reflective and quietly bold.
