Hot Chip - "Huarache Lights" Video + Why Make Sense? Details

Hot Chip are back! After teasing new music last week with a cryptic website, the band has announced that they’ll be releasing their sixth album, Why Make Sense?, in May. They’ve also shared the lead single: It’s called “Huarache Lights,” and comes along with a video directed by Andy Knowles all in one take and is based around a mesmerizing light installation from Robert Bell. The new album was produced by the band themselves and Mark Ralph, who they also worked with for their last full-length, In Our Heads, which came out back in 2012. Check out the new song and the Why Make Sense? tracklist below.
