Hot Hot Heat
The
wait for Hot Hot Heat’s triumphant return is over as they
released their 3rd LP on Sire Records on September 11, 2007.
While the members of Hot Hot Heat co-produced 90 percent of
Happiness LTD., they did bring in a bevy of producers—like
Butch Walker (the Academy Is…, the Von Bondies), Rob Cavallo
(Green Day, My Chemical Romance), Eric Valentine (Queens of
the Stone Age) and Tim Palmer (U2, David Bowie, the Cure)—to
assist in making the album larger than life. Production was
done in bits and pieces in different studios in different cities
at different times—everywhere from Mushroom Studios in
the bands’ hometown [of Vancouver, British Columbia] to
Frank Sinatra's studio in L.A. to Abbey Road in London.
From the thumping bass line of the Happiness LTD.’s opening
title track to the synth-tastic trickery of “Harmonicas
& Tambourines,” the album is a journey through the
eyes of someone who’s brokenhearted, on the verge of breaking
down, but not completely sure they’re ready to give up.
Known for their frenetic and high-energy show, the band is gearing
up to hit the road with a new arsenal of songs, and what Hot
Hot Heat is looking forward to most is reconnecting with their
overwhelmingly loyal fans—and introducing themselves to
some fresh-faced new ones.
