Following the overwhelming success of "It Began In Afrika," we proudly announce the follow-up single from The Chemical Brothers, "Star Guitar." Warm, blissful and thumping, "Star Guitar" ingenuously mixes a 4-on-the-floor rhythm with an incredibly melodic hook and a swirling vocal break. Tom and Ed have yet again delivered the goods...intoxicating and soaring, "Star Guitar" is set to be the anthem for the new year.
Star Guitar will be released as a CD single and Commercial 12" on January 14 and January 28th respectively, and will feature standout mixes by Pete Heller. Heller's Expanded Mix is a 9-minute epic journey, tapping into the song's spirit and adding a progressive and glowing energy to the already loved-up track. The spanking new "Base 6" once again reminds us that there is no such thing as a Chemical Brothers b-side. A dubbed-out groove that drops acid bass lines, 70's style horns, old-school percussion and scratching "Base 6" finds The Chemical Brothers pushing the envelope once again.
Only a few acetates have been leaked to the crème de la crème of international DJ talent, including Danny Tenaglia, Paul Oakenfold, Jason Bentley, Pete Tong, Sasha, Francois K, Little Louie Vega, Liquid Todd and Nick Hardcourt -- dancefloors are already erupting to the triumphant track!
Come back to the Chemical Brothers' website Monday, November 26th, for an exclusive sneak preview of "Star Guitar."
"Star Guitar" is from the forthcoming album COME WITH US, released on January 28th.
