World Cafe Playlist for 11/07/2023

The Chemical Brothers join host Stephen Kallao

The Chemical Brothers have been making bodies move and blowing minds for over 30 years. Their new album, For That Beautiful Feeling, is filled with signature elements of dance, big beat, hip hop, and psychedelia. And as Tom Rowlands shares with us, it’s also full of joy. Rowlands joins us on the World Cafe to talk about the duo’s new album, plus a new retrospective book called Paused in Cosmic Reflection.

Listen to the session here.
