The self proclaimed ‘sad’ musical genius Chilly Gonzales performs an awesome take on Daft Punks ‘Something ABout Us’ (not Digital Love as mentioned…!).

Chilly Gonzales returns with his first official UK full length release since Solo Piano in 2006 with Ivory Tower(Schmooze / Gentle Threat). The new album is also companion to a feature film of the same name starring Tiga and Peaches as well as himself. The film is co-written by the award winning Celine Sciamma (Water Lilies) and Gonzales and has been selected by the Locarno Film festival, one of the most respected and credible film festivals alongside Cannes, Toronto, Berlin and Venice. Gonzales also produced and stars in the film, which centres on two champion chess-playing brothers (Gonzales and Tiga) who share a love for the same girl (Peaches). We’ve all been there, right?

He’s spent the last year wooing British audiences with his now infamous Piano Talk Shows, where high profile fans from the music industry as well as satirical mavericks were in attendance and lining up to sing Gonzales’ praises. The likes of The Mighty Boosh and Chris Morris, to Erol Alkan, Jarvis Cocker and James Ford were all seen jossling for places at the shows, proving he’s gaining much love amongst some big names.

Chilly Gonzales is playing Bestival this weekend then heading off for a few dates across Germany and France. Check out his myspace for more details.
