It’s been quite a while since we sent one of these - the announcement of a new Hot Chip album and a new set of gigs seemed like a good time to send some news.
As you may have already read on the website, the new album - In Our Heads - is released on June 11th (June 12th in the States). It’s the band’s first record for the Domino label. The first track from the album - Flutes - a seven minute roofless, rushing anthem-in-waiting, is currently slipping into discerning DJ’s boxes the world over via a very limited white label 12”.
You can hear it online from here.??If you pre-order the album now, you’ll receive a free download of the mighty Flutes in your inbox by return. You can aslo pre-order it from iTunes here.
The first single proper will be announced in the next few weeks.
