We Are the Night by The Chemical Brothers
We Are the Night is an album by The Chemical Brothers, released in 2007. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 5 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “The Salmon Dance”, on 2 lists with a best position of #4.
We Are the Night, the Chemical Brothers' sixth album, arrived in the summer of 2007 on Freestyle Dust and Virgin in the UK and Astralwerks in the US, and it finds Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons, the big beat pioneers, leaning into house grooves, psychedelic swirl and outright pop. It's a party record with a sense of humor, all rubbery basslines and neon synth zaps.
"Do It Again" is the hypnotic, looping centerpiece, and "The Salmon Dance" is gleefully daft, proof the duo could still get a grin out of a dance floor. At home it went straight in at number one, their fifth chart-topping album in a row, and went gold. Across the Atlantic it collected the Grammy for Best Electronic/Dance Album.
