Career

Goddard is one of the founding members of Hot Chip. Started with high-school friend Alexis Taylor, they released their first album Coming on Strong in 2004. After the album's release, Hot Chip gained three new members: Owen Clarke, Felix Martin, and Al Doyle, who all had played on the album. Their second album, The Warning, gained the band more mainstream attention.[3]

In 2021, he teamed up with sometime Horse Meat Disco vocalist Amy Douglas[4] to form Hard Feelings (stylised as HARD FEELINGS), a duo who aim to mix dance music with synthpop and the new wave sounds[5] of the early 1980s, on tracks like "Holding on Too Long"[6] and "Dangerous". The duo's debut album is also called HARD FEELINGS and was released by Domino on 5 November 2021.[7]
