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 album is produced by the band’s Ben Romans Hopcraft alongside Jamie Neville.

Too Cold To Hold sees the band stretch out, open up and produce their most dazzlingly eclectic and honest album to date. One of the many aces in Too Cold To Hold is that not only does it give people what they want, it also provides what they need. Having come off tour enthused about what the future held for the band.

Guests include Irvine Welsh, Lianne La Havas, Janet Planet, Jeshi and CouCou Chloe.
