Hot Chip announce new UK tour dates, single

Hot Chip have tired of twiddling thumbs and have announced their initial tour plans for the rest of the year.

There’s a new single, too – ‘One Pure Thought’ arrives on the 12th of May through DFA/Astralwerks, before a summer dotted with various festival appearances, (ATP vs. Pitchfork, V2008, Bestival, Glastonbury, Wireless et cetera).

After that there’s a headlining Academy tour, presumably sponsored by the worst beer commonly available at our nation’s taps. Here’s a thought Carling, why not work on improving the taste of your product before whitewashing the UK live circuit with your coin-fresh tang?
