"There was another good Chemical Brothers album in us."
That is how the two described their first album in five years to Rolling Stone.7 Released on 17 July 2015, it went to No. 1 in the UK: their sixth, equalling the record for a dance act.36
The year before, they had received the Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Song Collection.4 At the Grammys, both the album and "Go" were nominated.7
In Japan, the bonus disc of the tour edition included "C-H-E-M-I-C-A-L", which later became a single.10
In the video for "Wide Open", the album's closing track, the body of the dancer Sonoya Mizuno is gradually replaced by CGI built from 107 anatomical rigs.116
People who can say for themselves that there is another album in them: I wait for the next one every time.
