Promotion and release

The album's first single, "Sometimes I Feel So Deserted" with Vocals by Daniel Pearce, was released on 21 April 2015. The second single, "Go", was released on 5 May. "Under Neon Lights" was released as the third single on 23 June 2015, and features St. Vincent, credited by her real name (Annie Clark) on vocals.

The album was released on 17 July 2015.

Critical reception

The performance of "Go" in the charts propelled The Chemical Brothers back into the mainstream, with DJs such as Annie Mac including it on their playlists of the year. However, some critics believe it was "poppy", and not keeping to their roots. Despite this, the remainder of the album was well received, drawing particular attention to the 1990s sound of singles such as "I'll see you there" and "Taste of Honey". Overall, it proved a moderate commercial success whilst maintaining enough of its distinctly "big beat" sound that gave it such success with albums such as "Dig Your Own Hole" and "Exit Planet Dust".

Track listing

  • "Sometimes I Feel So Deserted" contains an interpolation of "Brighter Days" (1997) by Big Moses featuring Kenny Bobien, with re-recorded vocals by Daniel Pearce.
  • As with all other albums by The Chemical Brothers, some of the tracks segue into the next. These are 3 into 4, and 4 into 5.
