Hrishikesh Hirway

Have you watched Widows' Bay?

You're listening to Song Exploder, where musicians take apart their songs and piece by piece tell the story of how they were made.

I'm Rishikesh Hirway.

I'm going to be on tour for the next few weeks, and all the dates are at songexploder.net slash live.

I'm going to be playing songs from my new album, In the Last Hour of Light, with a full band, and I'm going to be talking about the making of my album with a special guest moderator in each city.

I get to be the interviewee instead of the interviewer.

So I'm going to be joined by Jason Manzoukas, Samin Nasrat, Alison Russell, Joshua Molina, Ken Jennings and John Roderick, Min Jin Lee, and Adam Scott.

Hot Chips.

is a band from London made up of Alexis Taylor, Joe Goddard, Al Doyle, Owen Clark, and Felix Martin.

Their second album, The Warning, came out in 2006.

It was nominated for a Mercury Prize and named one of the best albums of the year by NME and Pitchfork.

And later, NME would include it in their list of best albums of all time.

For this episode, I talked to them about one of the songs from The Warning called Boy From School.

You might have heard it in the second season of the show Beef on Netflix.

The band's also in the show.

Or you might have heard it on The Simpsons.

You could have also heard the song In My Car All the Time in 2006.

So I was very excited to talk to Alexis and Joe from Hot Chip about how Boy From School was made.

More with Hatshep after this.

And now, here's Boy From School by Hot Chip in its entirety.
