Warmduscher have unveiled “Pure At The Heart,” their latest single featuring Confidence Man’s Janet Planet, taken from their forthcoming fifth album Too Cold To Hold, set for release on Friday, November 15th, 2024, via Strap Originals. The album will also feature guest appearances from Irvine Welsh, Lianne La Havas, Jeshi, and CouCou Chloe.

Described as Warmduscher at their most soulful and tender, “Pure At The Heart” marks a departure from their usual style. Speaking about the track, Ben Romans Hopcroft shared, ” ‘Pure At The Heart’ was an idea I’ve had knocking around for years…. I wanted to make something with emotional weight but sparkly and fun…I was at a party with Janet Planet and played it to her, she immediately started jumping around and singing the bridge melody that is on the track, which reinvigorated the song. Clams created the lyrical concept that offset the sweetness of the music.”

Lead vocalist Clams added, “(It’s) a nod to being one of the few left on the floor when the lights come on and the club closes, and to the adventures to come with the stranger you just met there.”

The track is accompanied by a video directed by Brandon Young and Harvey Wells, aka Godfearing. Reflecting on the production, the duo said, “3 days prep. 1 day shoot. We didn’t have long to pull this off but we think it’s a great success. The last time we had 4 days to pull something off, Harvey got friction burn.”

The band have announced a run of U.K. / EU dates to coincide with the album release in November – the dates include their biggest London headline show to date at The Troxy - They’ll also be taking their incendiary live show out on the road across North America in early 2025.
