NTS Radio: with Alexis Taylor

​

This was a very special NTS Radio show, with the wonderful Alexis Taylor of Hot Chip. We played songs and talked about Alexis’s new Listen With(out) Piano, a companion record to his Piano LP from last year. Veering from Ethiopiques to Raymond Scott, via Spiritualized and a 12ft high German piano, we explored the relationship between keyboards and ‘functional’ music. A pleasure!
