Warm Digits announce Wireless World (4th August; Memphis Industries)
WARM DIGITS ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM WIRELESS WORLD
ALBUM RELEASED 4TH AUGUST 2017 ON MEMPHIS INDUSTRIES
SHARE NEW TRACK “THE RUMBLE AND THE TREMOR” [FEAT. DEVON SPROULE]
Electronic duo Warm Digits have announced details of their third album. Wireless World will be released 4th August on Memphis Industries, and features guest appearances from Peter Brewis of Field Music, Sarah Cracknell of Saint Etienne and Mia La Metta of Beards.
To celebrate, the Newcastle duo (AKA Andrew Hodson and Steve Jefferis) have today shared standout track “The Rumble and The Tremor.” Guest vocalist Devon Sproule articulates the ambivalence of a power station which provides employment for a deprived area but at what cost? “The future is paid for by the rumble and the tremor.”
Wireless World is loosely themed around a present-day that teeters between progress and collapse. The band explain: “Our experience of the world and our states of mind are shaped and thrilled by unimaginably exciting leaps in technology, and yet that world will only last for a few moments as we fail to find a way to act collectively on rising temperatures, the failures of democracy and the unstoppable hunger for exploitation of the ground under our feet. This record is our attempt to make music from our experience of this present that teeters between celebration and devastation.”
The band will be performing at Green Man Festival 17th-20th August.

WARM DIGITS are the Newcastle-upon-Tyne duo that, in the words of legendary DJ/producer Andrew Weatherall, create “Machine funk kraut-a-delia – it’s rather lovely!”. Their brew of live drums, guitar and electronics betray a love of Neu!, Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroder, My Bloody Valentine and Boards Of Canada. Motorik percussion, electronic basslines, Keith Levene-style guitar chops and squelchy analogue warmth are accompanied by live visuals in performances that have graced the Psych Fests of both London and Liverpool, seen them support the likes of Goblin, Modeselektor, ESG, St. Etienne, Moon Duo and many more, toured the UK with British Sea Power and blown the audience away at Supersonic and many other festivals. Their blistering live sets of “krautophonic blizzard-wave” have to be seen to be believed.
