There’s been no official confirmation from the band on their socials at this stage, nor has there been any word from their record label Domino/EMI here in Australia, but by sneakily dropping the video for a new song called ‘Huarache Lights’ onto Youtube, British electropop outfit Hot Chip have today revealed that their new album ‘Why Make Sense?’ will be released in the middle of May.
It’s the band’s sixth release and their first since 2012’s ‘In Our Heads’ and, according to the information beneath the video itself, it was recorded in both London and Oxfordshire with Mark Ralph.
It’s due on May 18 in the UK, which suggests a potential Aussie release date of Friday May 15.
We’ll bring you more details as they come to hand, but in the meantime, enjoy a three year old band shot (above) and check out the brand spanking new clip (below).
