Alexis Taylor is the frontman&songwriter for UK dance legends Hot Chip, who’ve built a huge Australian fanbase across five records – their last, 2012’s In Our Heads selling 10K units locally; featured as triple j’s Album of The Week and followed by headlines at 2012’s Falls Festival & Field Day.

Await Barbarians is Alexis’ second solo record. More intimate and acoustic than his music with Hot Chip, this new solo album speaks to fans of Bill Callahan, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy & Bon Iver – adult contemporary folk with touches of Americana, rich with classic songwriting and Alexis’ distinctive voice.

One of the decade’s most distinctive alternative voices, Alexis Taylor’s solo return Await Barbarians is a record whose warm tones draw you in, arriving via a solid press and radio set that set up aims to connect with his Hot Chip fanbase, and more broadly with alternative music fans beyond it.
