Too Cold To Hold features appearances from Irvine Welsh, Lianne La Havas, Janet Planet, Jeshi and CouCou Chloe.

Warmdsucher were born in 2014 out of a creative collision between members of various prominent bands and this spontaneous formation resulted in a band that was not just a side project, but a musical force that would soon carve its own unique niche.

Over their four previous albums, Khaki Tears (2015), Whale City (2018), Tainted Lunch (2019) and At the Hotspot (2022) the band have worked with some of the most respected producers including Dan Carey and Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard & Al Doyle and gathered praise and fans alike for their DIY spirit and effortless ability to blend genres fearlessly.

A legendary live act, driven and led by the charismatic Clams Baker Jr, they are one of the most exciting bands to come out of London in recent years with their music a staple of the 6Music playlist over the years.

Too Cold To Hold sees the band stretch out, open up and produce their most dazzlingly eclectic and honest album to date.

“We wanted it to be brutally honest in our depiction of ourselves,” said Ben. “We’re known for acting in a certain way, playing in a certain way and deploying a certain method. I think the formula for Warmduscher is chaos. In every aspect. There’s a lot of method to the chaos that we adopt, making sure that we are in control of that and the development of that chaos is really important. Otherwise, we’d be in the same loop of giving people what they think they want from us.”

One of the many aces in Too Cold To Hold is that not only does it give people what they want, it also provides what they need. Having come off tour enthused about what the future held for the band, Clams and Ben in particular, “wanted to use the energy of the live shows and put it into something creative rather than turn it into one big hangover.”

Warmduscher then; don’t define them, just enjoy them.
