Hot Flash Heat Wave Share ‘Sportswear’ LP
San Francisco-based indie trio Hot Flash Heat Wave share their brand new album, Sportswear. With their new sound, they’ve merged the quintessential melodies of pop’s past with contemporary touches to forge something truly unique. Hot Flash Heat Wave is just starting to create their own sonic world.
“Sportswear is a world of its own, a vision that encompasses not just music, but art, storytelling and fashion as well. Sonically we felt drawn to elements from early goth, new wave, and house, taking them through our filter of indie, psychedelia, r&b and modern pop,” says Hot Flash Heat Wave’s Ted Davis about the new album. “We were also inspired by the style and hyper-individualism of late 90s club culture and anime. The name Sportswear is a cheeky nod to this tapestry of influences and the disambiguation of trends and subculture, as they become commodified for mass appeal and lose their deeper meaning. Lyrically the record speaks to our personal life struggles and soul searchings as well as existential sensations and narrations.”
Hot Flash Heat Wave are currently on the Sportswear World Tour, including shows across North America, the United Kingdom, and Europe (their shows in the UK/EU were postponed to August and September 2022).
