The Chemical Brothers return with an exuberant new anthem – Free Yourself. The single became a fan favorite when the band began performing it during summer festivals across Europe.
The release comes just ahead of The Chemical Brothers’ two sold-out shows at London’s iconic Alexandra Palace on October 5 and 6.
In 2015, the legendary duo – comprising Ed Simons and Tom Rowlands – released their GRAMMY®-nominated album, Born In The Echoes, which featured collaborations with such artists as Q-Tip, St. Vincent and Beck, plus visual experimentation with Oscar-winning director Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Science of Sleep, The Green Hornet) and in virtual reality with Chris Milk. Pitchfork praised Born In The Echoes as “some of the best pure pop songs Rowlands and Simons have ever made” while NME declared it “a bold reinvention of the Chemical Brothers’ sound.”
The Chemical Brothers have sold more than 12 million albums and six million singles worldwide. They have had six No. 1 albums in the U.K. and were the first electronic act ever to receive a GRAMMY, winning in the Best Rock Instrumental Performance category for “Block-Rockin’ Beats” – the first of their four GRAMMY wins.
