Hot Hot Heat Announce Farewell Album, Share "Kid Who Stays in the Picture": Listen
On June 24, Hot Hot Heat will release a final album—their first since 2010′s Future Breeds—before calling it quits. Produced by Ryan Dahle, the record will be released via Kaw-Liga Records in the United States and internationally (Culvert in Canada.) You can hear its lead single “Kid Who Stays in the Picture” above. The record will be self-titled.
Singer Steve Bays said in a press release: “To be able to tour from 1999 to 2014 and play hundreds of shows a year was amazing. It changed all of our lives. It was the greatest experience I could ever imagine. I can relate to our fans and I respect our fans. They are the kind of people I’d hang out with. I’m proud of every single record, and of finding the ground between making it challenging and fresh, but also not being afraid to be entertaining and put on a crazy show. Every show we ever did was just a total high energy spectacle and that’s a great legacy to have.”
Of the album itself, he added, “We wanted it to feel cohesive and representative of the aesthetic we were into at that point. We wanted it to feel like it was all the same album even though it had been written over several years. The songs are the ten songs we were the most excited about in the moment. The idea behind the album was: If you want to try and do something great, it can only be when the inspiration hits.”
