A couple of days ago we featured “Swoon”, the new song by The Chemical Brothers. We were forced to remove it as it was accidentally released by the record label, unbeknownst to the band. (I know this sounds a bit lame, but these things do happen from time to time in the record business. Shall we say a communication breakdown?) This song is from the forthcoming 8 song album Further, and each song will have a corresponding film. “Swoon” has now officially been released and we present it here with the film.
Hopefully you heard the new Chems song yesterday. We have removed it as it was accidentally released too soon. In all of the excitement of a new song from a legendary band, it happens sometimes. This site is first and foremost artist friendly. We work with artists, never against them. When the Chemical Brothers is once again officially available you will hear it here.
The Chemical Brothers, the duo of Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons, pioneers of electronic alternative dance music, will soon release their 7th studio album, Further. All 8 tracks will be released with a corresponding film created for each song. But we will have to wait until June. What we do have is “Swoon” from the forthcoming album as the Song of the Day.
