influenced by early house music. Alongside the regular band members, Hot Chip collaborated on several of the album tracks with the drummer Charles Hayward from This Heat and Camberwell Now, Leo Taylor, drummer from the London-based band The Invisible and the Trinidadian steel pan player Fimber Bravo. One Life Stand was released on 1 February 2010. 2011–2013: In Our Heads Their self-produced fifth studio album In Our Heads was released on 11 June 2012 by Domino. About the album, Taylor stated, "I think In Our Heads was a bit speedier, and made with less pressure, but more fun – partly due to people in the band not having too many hang ups about how good the material was – we seemed to be happy with the songs we were writing and they came quickly – and partly due to the fact that we had been enjoying ourselves elsewhere, whether at home, or on tour, or recording with our other projects, or DJing.

"Dark and Stormy" has been since released as a non-album single. 2014–2018: Why Make Sense? On 10 February 2015, the band announced their sixth studio album, Why Make Sense? and released the first single, "Huarache Lights". The album was released on 18 May 2015. 2019–2021: A Bath Full of Ecstasy On 4 April 2019, the band announced that their seventh studio album, A Bath
