RCRD OF THE DAY: Hot Hot Heat - Zero Results
Many weaker bands have crumbled in the seven years since Hot Hot Heat's deliriously catchy breakthrough, "Bandages," but not them–the Vancouver quartet are still mining dance-punk for all of its neurotic, dramatic gold. New LP Future Breeds doesn't skimp on such successes, but "Zero Results" is something different: a slower, raunchier minor chord vamp that sounds born from the murky bottom of an absinthe bottle. Maybe not the best depiction of the album as a whole, but definitely one of its most memorable moments.
Future Breeds is out June 8 through Dangerbird. Hot Hot Heat wrap up a Brooklyn residency at Public Assembly tomorrow, and launch a similar one at Los Angeles' Bootleg Theater on June 2.
