Hot Chip star announces solo LP

Hot Chip co-vocalist Joe Goddard has announced plans to release his "largely instrumental" debut solo album on November 9.

Harvest Festival will be made available on Greco-Roman, the label Goddard runs alongside singer Alex Waldron.

To celebrate the release, the Pure Groove record shop in London will be teaming up with the star to host an all-night event of harvest festival-themed activities - including apple bobbing, tug of war and ale tasting - on November 18.

Goddard's bandmate Alexis Taylor released his first solo record Rubbed Out last year.

The tracklisting of Harvest Festival is as follows:

• 'Apple Bobbing'

• 'Go Bananas'


• 'Half-Time Oranges'


• 'Lemon & Lime (Home Time)'
