The undisputed masters of brain-altering, transcendent electronics return with their first studio album since 2010's Further. The Chemical Brothers' eighth studio album - Born In The Echoes - is a magnificent eleven-track collection of lean, propulsive machine driven music. From juddering robotic funk to unhinged futurist Freakbea'; icy spectral psych to rhapsodic analog synthetics; from euphoric spiritual acid to harmonic ambient distortion, the album is the sound of a reinvigorated Chemical Brothers creating some of the most mind-expanding music of their career to date. Born In The Echoes features a stellar cast of collaborators including previous guests Q-Tip ('Go' - a track that is accompanied by a video directed by Michel Gondry) and Ali Love ('EML Ritual') as well as first time visitors to the studio - St. Vincent ('Under Neon Lights'), Cate Le Bon ('Born In The Echoes') and Beck ('Wide Open' - his first new music since his Grammy winning album 'Morning Phase').
