Warmduscher announce new album Too Cold To Hold and biggest UK dates yet

Band’s biggest show yet at London’s Troxy booked in for November

Warmduscher have today announced details of the release of their fifth album, Too Cold To Hold and shared a visualiser for ‘Fashion Week’ the first track to be taken from the album.

The album is released on Friday 15^th November 2024 via Strap Originals, the band’s first for the label, and it features several guests including Irvine Welsh, Lianne La Havas, Confidence Man’s Janet Planet, Jeshi and CouCou Chloe.
 
Comprised of Clams Baker Jr., Benjamin Romans Hopcraft, Adam J. Harmer, Marley Mackey, Quinn Whalley, and Bleu Ottis Wright, Too Cold To Hold is undoubtedly their best and most ambitious album to date. Taking on board the repetitive and polyrhythmic grooves of gqom (an alluring South African take on house music), adding in a dash of hip hop flavours and even jazz, and then harnessing that to their punk-funk, disco pogo, it’s a spellbinding mix.
 
The tracklisting of the album, produced by the band’s Ben Romans Hopcraft alongside Jamie Neville is as follows:
1.   An Introduction By Irvine Welsh
2.   Fashion Week
3.   Pure At Heart feat. Janet Planet
4.   Top Shelf
5.   Body Shock feat. Lianne La Havas
6.   Cleopatras feat. CouCou Chloe
7.   Immaculate  Deception feat. Jeshi
8.   Out Of Body
9.   Staying Alive
10. Too Cold To Hold
11. Weeds In The Garden

Talking about the first track to be taken from the album, ‘Fashion Week’, which is a joyous account of fashion’s die-hard fans rather than the more visible arrivistes or dilettantes, Clams said: “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. 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 you do… It’s a celebration of people who will do whatever to look good and feel good and step above wherever they are in their own minds.”
