Hot Chip Shares Velvet Underground Cover Off ‘Late Night Tales’ Mix

Hot Chip shared a cover of The Velvet Underground’s “Candy Says,” from their upcoming Late Night Tales mix. The Hot Chip-curated installment of the long-running Late Night Tales compilation series is due out on October 2.

Hot Chip’s cover of “Candy Says” is one of four exclusive tracks by the band featured on the mix along with the new songs “Nothing’s Changed,” “Worlds Within Worlds” and “None Of These Things.” Other artists selected for the compilation include Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Pale Blue, Christina Vantzou, Suzanne Kraft, Fever Ray, Planningtorock, About Group, Beatrice Dillon, Nils Frahm, Charlotte Adigery, Mike Salta, Matthew Bourne, Daniel Blumberg and Rhythm & Sound featuring Cornell Campbell.

Hot Chip’s Alexis Taylor stated the following regardint their Late Night Tales compilation:

I think we all had slightly different understandings of what a Late Night Tales compilation might consist of; varying interpretations of the brief. For some, the mix might be what you’d want to listen to as your late night continues, after a night out. For others maybe it suggested a selection of music for listening to as you drift off to sleep; then again it could just be music evocative of night time, or concerned with its traditionally “darker” moods.

We’ve put together a mix of music which ties all of these ideas together and represents some of our favorite music new and old, some of it directly influential on Hot Chip and some of it music we have discovered and loved, been surprised by and connected to. There are three new songs of ours which we’re really proud of, and which I think connect naturally with the nocturnal world the compilation speaks of, and a cover of “Candy Says” which is one of the first songs the very early version of Hot Chip played when we were still at school.
