Hot Chip have unveiled their new single and announced their new album, as well as three UK headline shows for May. Full dates and ticket details are below. 

The band recently teased new material with a short clip on Domino Records' website - confirming their new album Why Make Sense? Their fifth album, In Our Heads, was released in 2012.

Now, it has been revealed that sixth LP Why Make Sense? will be released on 18 May, 2015. The band have also unveiled glorious new single 'Huarahce Lights' - a blissed-out odysssey of sweet disco and electro that latter-day LCD Soundsystem would have been proud of.

Since it was announced that they'll play at the BBC 6 Music Festival on 20 February, as well as Green Man in August, the band have now announced a trio of UK shows sandwiched inbetween.

They'll play at Glasgow Art School on 12 May, before heading to Manchester's Gorilla, finishing up at London's Oval Space on 14 May.
