UK band Warmduscher will release their fourth album, At the Hotspot, on April 1 via Bella Union. It's their first album for the label and it was produced by Hot Chip's Joe Goddard and Al Doyle, who filled in at the last minute for Dan Carey, who had produced their three other albums (including 2019's Tainted Lunch) and came down with Covid just as they were about to enter the studio.
At the Hotspot downplays Warmduscher's garage-ier side in favor of greasy funk, disco, and '80s electro. “There was a lot of partying,” says frontman Clams Baker of the album's creation during lockdown. “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.”
