After sharing a cryptic video last week, Hot Chip have formally announced the follow-up to 2012's In Our Heads and 2013's Dark and Stormy EP. It's titled Why Make Sense?, and will be out May 18 via Domino (that's the cover art, above). (Update: In the U.S., the album will be out May 19.) The new record was co-produced by the band and Mark Ralph, who also sat in on the In Our Heads sessions. The group have also shared a video for "Huarache Lights", a track which will appear on Why Make Sense?; it's a one-take visual shot by Andy Knowles and inspired by a light installation built by artist Robert Bell.
As an added incentive for nabbing the album early, Hot Chip will throw in the Separate EP – a four-track EP comprised of cuts from the Why Make Sense? sessions – with all pre-orders.
Hot Chip are set to play a few festivals in the coming months, and following the album's announcement, they've expanded that trek significantly to include a longer stint stateside. Check out their updated schedule below, below the tracklistings for both the album and the EP.
Why Make Sense?:
01 Huarache Lights
02 Love is the Future
03 Cry For You
04 Started Right
05 White Wine and Fried Chicken
06 Dark Night
07 Easy to Get
08 Need You Now
09 So Much Further to Go
10 Why Make Sense?
Separate EP:
01 Burning Up
02 Separate
03 Move With Me
04 Re-harmonize
