Hot Chip Reveal Album Artwork

• 18th Apr 2012

Night And Day – the first single from Hot Chip’s forthcoming fifth LP, In Our Heads – is released on June 4th. The single is a piece of classic Hot Chip weird-ass superfunk disco, driven by a menacing yet supremely danceable rubberized bassline. It's the sound Prince would be making had he grown up just south of the Thames. It's Zapp not Zappa.

The single will be available on 12” and via digital download and will come with a remix from the 2 Bears featuring Trim as well as an exclusive b-side track entitled Jelly Babies.

Night And Day tracklist is as follows:

Night And Day – 12” (RUG474T) and digitally (RUG474D):

Recorded in London and produced by the band with Mark Ralph, In Our Heads is the band’s follow up to 2010’s intoxicating One Life Stand and their first LP for Domino. In Our Heads will be available on 11th June (in the UK) on CD (WIGCD293), LP (WIGLP293) and digitally (WIG293D). There will also be a special vinyl edition of the album available on gatefold double LP with a bonus artworked 7” featuring an exclusive track. A free download of Flutes is available when pre-ordering the special edition of In Our Heads on vinyl through Dom mart.
