It features contributions from Irvine Welsh, Lianne La Havas, Confidence Man’s Janet Planet and more Warmduscher have announced details of a new album, ‘Too Cold To Hold’. Pre-order the LP and check out their lead single ‘Fashion Week’ below. Announced today (July 9), the project marks the fifth full length album from the British post-punk band, and will be their frist release since signing to Strap Originals.
It also stars an impressive list of guest appearances throughout, including contributions from Lianne La Havas , Confidence Man ’s Janet Planet, Jeshi, and CouCou Chloe. Set to arrive on November 15, the band describe the forthcoming project as their strongest and most ambitious album to date. This comes as it sees them taking on the repetitive and polyrhythmic grooves of gqom (an alluring South African take on house music), and combining it with elements of hip-hop, jazz, punk-funk and more.
To celebrate the announcement, Warmduscher have also dropped the lead single from the project as a taster of what is yet to come. Titled ‘Fashion Week’, the track is designed as a joyous account of fashion’s die-hard fans. “Those that will do anything to become that thing.
That creation. And live it. It’s real artistry when you don’t have the means and you’re doing it,” said Clams Baker Jr, describing the inspiration for the song.
“You’re hustling to get on the guest list, you get in, you’re done up by means that you can’t really afford, whatever.
