For That Beautiful Feeling is the tenth studio album by English electronic music duo the Chemical Brothers, released on 8 September 2023 through Virgin Records in the UK and Republic Records in the US.[1] [2] It is the duo's first album in four years, as well as their first to be released by Republic in the US, as all prior American releases were via Astralwerks. In November 2023, the album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Electronic/Dance Album for the 66th Annual Grammy Awards.[3]

Background

The band announced the album's name and track list on 19 July 2023.

The album was paired with a career-spanning retrospective book Paused in Cosmic Reflection published by White Rabbit on 26 October 2023. The book is made up of new interviews with the band, as well as many of their friends and collaborators from the past three decades, including Noel Gallagher, Aurora, Wayne Coyne, Beth Orton, Beck, and Michel Gondry.[4]

Critical reception

For That Beautiful Feeling received a score of 81 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on nine critics' reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". Uncut wrote that the Chemical Brothers "produce a whole lot of full-fat dance-pop joy" on the album. Damien Morris of The Observer described it as a "nonsense-free reaffirmation of the dance duo's greatest strength – making largely instrumental psychedelic house and techno somehow sound like pop music".[5]
