36. Hot Chip — Joy in Repetition

Peter Blake’s latest cover, by thr band Hot Chip, uses his watercolour painting of one of his mechanical, wind-up minkeys that repeatedly plays cymbals when started.

This double album of the band’s greatest hits was releaased on Friday 5th September 2025.

That’s quite impressive. Most, if not all, of his recent covers have been done for friends and the Hot Chip cover is no exception, being done as a favour to frontman Alexis Taylor, Blake’s friend.
