The Chemical Brothers share new single “No Reason,” touring around Coachella

Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons are back with their first new The Chemical Brothers song in two years. Opening with a rat-a-tat marching drum beat, "No Reason" bursts open with an infectious, funky bassline and "Wooo!" hook, before detouring into a terrific acid house midsection. The song takes its name from a sample of "Courts or Wars," a 1979 single from Second Layer who were led by Adrian Borland (The Sound).

Tom and Ed say "No Reason" is the first taste of a new album, details TBA. Check out the video, which leans into the marching band element, below.

The Chemical Brothers have a few West Coast live dates surrounding their appearance at Coachella 2023, with an official Sideshow in Santa Barbara and a headline show in Seattle. Otherwise, they'll be on the UK/EU festival circuit this summer. All dates are listed below.
