Alexis Taylor has announced a US tour and shared a remix of “Beautiful Thing,” the title track from his recent album on Domino, by Matias Aguayo.

Alexis’ latest album, Beautiful Thing—released back in April on Domino—presented a collection of hazy, strange, and, at times, dark electronic ballads full of heartfelt songwriting. The record was the first solo album Alexis had made with a producer, with the Hot Chip frontman enlisting Tim Goldsworthy, co-founder of Mo Wax and DFA Recordings, to produce it.

With the album now on the shelves, and following a recent set at London’s All Points East festival, Alexis has announced a US album tour set to kick off this week, which find Alexis accompanied by Susumu Mukai (aka Zongamin) on bass and Leo Taylor (The Invisible, Floating Points) on drums. 

Alongside the tour announcement, Alexis has also shared a remix of the album’s title track by Matias Aguayo, which finds the Cómeme label head in wild, unhinged form, as Alexis explains:

“I first came across Matias as he was performing an amazingly funky, wonky and wild percussive live set in Calvi, Corsica many years back. I then became a fan of much on his Cómeme label. It is a real privilege to hear his very raw and impassioned new take on ‘Beautiful Thing’ featuring his own vocals, revised lyrics, and grinding, pulsating grooves. So much more than a remix!”
