!!! (Chk Chk Chk) Announce New LP 'Wallop', Stream "Serbia Drums"

NYC dance-punk outfit !!! (Chk Chk Chk) have announced the release of their eighth studio album 'Wallop'.

The album was made mostly in frontman Nic Offer’s Brooklyn apartment and will be out on August 30 via Warp Records,  it features guest appearances from Liars frontman Angus Andrew, Maria Uzor of UK dance act Sink Ya Teeth, and Glasser’s Cameron Mesirow. Pre-order your copy here.

According to the press release, Wallop almost acts as an extension of 2017’s Shake The Shudder, a record that presented some of !!!’s most succinct and streamlined songwriting to date. Many of the tracks here are anchored by a punchy one-two of disco big-beats and juicy bass hooks (be they provided by electric bass or a synthesiser). There is also a feeling of unpredictability that creeps into several of the more disco-indebted tracks here.".

With Wallop, !!! have managed to maintain both their knack for crafting killer dance-punk and their sense of adventure.

Check out the album's tracklist and listen to new single "Serbia Drums", below.

Wallop tracklist:
01. Let It Change U
02. Couldn’t Have Known
03. Off The Grid
04. In the Grid
05. Serbia Drums
06. My Fault
07. Slow Motion

Watch: !!! (Chk Chk Chk) Air Music Video For "UR Paranoid"

California dance-punk outfit !!! (Chk Chk Chk) have aired the video for their newest track "UR Paranoid".

The double A-side Single ‘UR Paranoid / Off The Grid’, is out now via Warp Records. Grab it here.

“Who doesn’t feel paranoid or want to get off the grid right now? There’s more good times and heartbreak to come… we promise. But we wanted to start you off with a couple of peak timers that were written on dark and stormy nights. Really excited to be hitting the road with these new songs, we’ve already been playing them and they are fucking killing. It’s rare that you finish a song knowing exactly who you want to direct the video, but that’s exactly what happened with UR paranoid, and we were lucky to get our friend Amanda Lovejoy Street to direct the clip. She says the video is a nod to experimental theater, low budget psychological horror films, Saul Steinberg, Carl Jung. So… listen to these jams loud and expect a lot more from us very, very soon.” – !!! (Chk Chk Chk)

Watch: !!! (Chk Chk Chk) Air Music Video For "Every Little Bit Counts"

California dance-punk outfit !!! (Chk Chk Chk) have aired the video for their latest single "Every Little Bit Counts".

The song is part of our current playlist and is taken from their sixth studio album 'As If', which came out in October last year. 

The video was directed by Casper KellyIn , who said: "Every Little Bit Counts" excited me because it is such a fun, fun song and tonally different from the weirder, darker stuff I usually do. The basic idea is there's a stuffy world, in this case the news, and Nic comes in like Willie Wonka or the Cat in the Hat and has a bit of fun with it. Crazily and coincidentally, while shooting on the set Nic told me he once did a thing like this in real life - he was walking somewhere and there was a news crew interviewing a man opposed to gay marriage, and Nic popped in and said something in the mic. If someone by chance taped that newscast he'd love a copy.

Nic was wonderful to work with. He somehow combined Zen calm with boyish enthusiasm and was up for anything."

!!! (Chk Chk Chk) To Release "And Anyway It's Christmas" Next Week

!!! (Chk Chk Chk) have announced they will release a new Xmas single titled "And Anyway It's Christmas" next week.

The song will be out on Limited 7" on December 10 via Warp Records, and will feature a "Dubmix" on the B-side. Pre-order your copy here.

About the song, vocalist Nic Offer commented: "We've always wanted to write an Xmas song, but wanted it to be good enough and not just something like 'it's a disco christmas' or whatever. It had to be a good song to start with. We came up with this groove and it just felt Christmassy to us. Hopefully, you'll see fit to play at holiday dance parties for years to come."
