Warmduscher Announce Fourth Album 'At The Hotspot', Share New Single Fatso

Warmduscher have announced their fourth studio album, 'At The Hotspot'.
Produced by Hot Chip's Joe Goddard and Al Doyle, the follow-up to 2019's 'Tainted Lunch' will arrive on April 1 via Bella Union.
It'll feature the previously released Wild Flowers along with the newly shared single Fatso, which unfurls around a thick '80s-inspired electronic funk groove. Clams Baker Jr describes it as, "a song dedicated to taking the time to slow down and sniff the roses, turn off the computer and take in the sunshine, and embrace the battle of a sleepless day at the office from a night of beautiful carnage that you’ll always dream about."
Commenting on the making of the record, he said:
"There was a lot of partying. We were like, Aaarrggghh. We were just happy to be doing something and seeing each other. It was that weird energy, where you're fed up and you're kind of angry, but in a good way. We would spend like two nights a week writing, maybe once or twice a month, sometimes less."
On the absence of longtime producer Dan Carey, who contracted COVID-19 at the time of recording, Baker added: "I was in the studio with Joe and Al of Hot Chip, doing an electronic project with Igor Cavallera of Sepultura and his wife, artist/musician Laima. When I got the message saying Dan couldn't do the album, I was like, 'Aw, fuck!’ Then Joe and Al were simply like, ‘We'll do it!’ It was this really weird, happy accident."
The band will embark on a UK and European tour this spring, including some sold-out rescheduled gigs, and their biggest London show to date at the O2 Forum Kentish Town.
