While not drumming for Hot Chip, Rob Smoughton moonlights as Grovesnor, blending silky vocals with retro synth melodies.
In anticipation of the May 25, 2010 release of his Lo Recordings solo debut Soft Return, Grovesnor is releasing a remix of his first single off Soft Return, "Taxi From The Airport".

Remixed by Parisian "synth magician" dÉbruit, the track begins by piling milky harmonies on a half time, handclap-heavy beat. Where the original version conjures visions of a giddy taxi ride back from the airport, the remix is reminiscent of riding in a taxi after taking the red-eye, dawn beginning to break.

Between touring with Hot Chip (and opening select dates), Grovesnor, originally a solo live act, will tour the UK and US with a full six-piece band in support of Soft Return later this year.
"Barry White grappling in a water bed with Brian Eno." - The Guardian
"No, not Lionel Richie's 'Hello.' Nor Steve Winwood's 'While You See A Chance.' Nope, not even Genesis' 'Man on the Corner.' When you listen to UK electro-pop outfit Hot Chip's new DJ Kicks mix, the first sounds you hear are the curiously smooth synths of Grovesnor...which carries the futuristic soul DNA of all those 1980s oldies..." - Pitchfork
