Hot Chip began as a bedroom recording project for Taylor and Goddard, who met while students at Elliott School, Putney; their earliest lineup included Smoughton as their drummer. After completing two EPs, "Mexico" (2001) and "San Frandisco" (2002), the group released their debut album, "Coming on Strong" (2004) and added Doyle, Clarke, and Martin to their lineup. The band's second album, "The Warning" (2006), was nominated for the Mercury Prize. Their follow-up, "Made in the Dark" (2008), included the single "Ready for the Floor", which was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording. The band have subsequently released the albums "One Life Stand" (2010), "In Our Heads" (2012), "Why Make Sense?" (2015), and "A Bath Full of Ecstasy" (2019).
