London post punk/new wave band Talk Show have unleashed the video for their new single "Cold House".
The song is taken from upcoming new EP 'Touch The Ground', also produced by Joe Goddard (Hot Chip) and Al Doyle (Hot Chip/LCD Soundsystem), which will be release on 23rd September via Missing Piece Records. Pre-order your copy here.
The band see Touch The Ground as a celebration of their decisions to be bold: "We thought if we scrap the old stuff, the new stuff better be fucking good otherwise we're fucked,” Harrison says. ”On the final day I remember walking out and thinking that was the most fun I've ever had, and we've absolutely made the right decision and this is the direction we're going in. This is it now, this is where the train is heading and we're not stopping." Now the plan is to continue where they left off from the Hot Chip sessions, pushing for harder, louder, more industrial and dance floor-focussed music. "That's why it's called Touch The Ground. I wanted it to be like when a sprinter is crouching and ready to start a race," Harrison says, "it's the start of something – rooted, but looking upwards".
Raucous, visceral, and with an irresistible, dance heavy beat inspired by The Rapture’s “House of Jealous Lovers,” “Cold House” and its accompanying video provide a perfect taste of what is to come from the EP; equal parts industrial and dance floor ready, with a relentless energy that’s impossible to resist. Speaking about “Cold House,” frontman Harrison Swann says:
“I wanted to write something big but less dark and focussed on those noughties bands coming out of New York. They were absolutely having it. Honestly I can’t wait to play this to a crowd.”
