All The News... Album, Video, Live Dates, Supports, The Lot.

As the new Hot Chip LP (In Our Heads - "no shortage of sublime moments" 8/10m Uncut) is out on June 11th (June 12th in the States) - seemed like a good time to do a round up of all the recent news in case you missed anything. You can pre-order the album here.

The video for Night And Day is online now - directed by Peter Serafinowicz (the man responsible for the video for I Feel Better) and starring Reggie Watts, Lara Stone and Terence Stamp, it's barking mad and utterly brilliant.

Hot Chip played three tracks from the LP on Later last week - some kind soul did a rip of all them, you can watch them here.

Very limited copies of the Daphni (aka Dan Snaith, aka Caribou) remix of Night And Day are available from the Hot Chip webshop - click here to buy.

Hot Chip European DJ vacation...

As we speak Felix, Joe and Alexis are filling their wheelie-suitcases with vinyl and decanting their favorite toiletries into 100ml bottles in anticipation of a glorious weekend of pan-European dee-jaying, travel and experiences.
In a classic pincer movement, Alexis & Felix will begin playing records at The Lux, Lisbon on the 25th of March whilst Joe simultaneously performs his record-playing act at Tonfrequenz, Dusseldorf. As the night ends, Alexis will be helped into his escape capsule and blasted back to Hot Chip HQ in London through the series of pressurised tubes that run under the Bay of Biscay.
Felix then travels by tram and monorail to the Tivoli, Utrecht to play records whilst Joe continues in an easterly direction to play his records at the Arena, Vienna on the very same night (March 26th) .
Al will be monitoring proceedings from the LCD Soundsystem space-station currently in a geo-stationary orbit over Connecticut.
Owen's plans are unclear; he has been incommunicado since purchasing a Wallander box set in a motorway service station.
