Hot Chip return with 'Colours' on August 14th on EMI Records, taken from the bands massively acclaimed and now Mercury Nominated album release 'The Warning' released earlier this year. 'Colours', transcends its initial child-like innocence to seem both gorgeous and, somehow, profound and follows on from previous anthemic singles 'Over & Over' and 'Boy From School' in soundtracking the blissful summer months that lie ahead of us. The single will come backed by a twisted new reshape courtesy of the DFA.
Hot Chip has spent much of the last 12 months driving from town to town in a van. This extended live workout includes their recently completed biggest headline tour of the UK, a month long jaunt of the US, you may have caught them live as special guests to Mylo, LCD Soundsystem and Goldfrapp amongst others...Then of course there is the DJing.
In keeping with this gruelling schedule Hot Chip will be bringing their live expertise to festivals across the globe this summer. The band have also confirmed a full UK tour in October, which will include the already announced show at London's Astoria on October 11th.
Watch the rather surreal and floating video for 'Colours' which journeys through the changing colours of human DNA:
