The London-based Australian electro dance pop band are back with news of album three.
3AM (LA LA LA) is the title of the followup to the band’s breakthrough Tilt, and will be released October 18th via Chaos/ Polydor/ I Oh You.
The news came with a fun new ’90s rave-inspired dance track ‘I Can’t Lose You’ and a video that sees the band’s Janet Planet and Sugar Bones naked in a helicopter. Watch:
“It’s 3am, it’s never not 3am, and we party all the time.” – Sugar Bones.
The 3AM in the title is also a nod to those mischief pop makers The KLF and Jimmy Cauty from The KLF has worked on a remix of the album’s closing track (we did a podcast on the band last year).
“I don’t think he’d been to a gig in 25 years and he came to see us at the Roundhouse in London,” says Planet. “He’s been mentoring us a bit ever since.”
“We pretty much wrote every single song when we were wrecked,” says Planet of their recording at Pony Studios in London. “We’d get blasted and stay up till 9am coming up with music, but we noticed that 3am was the hottest time for when we were on it and the best ideas were coming out.”
Confidence Man are Janet Planet, Sugar Bones and instrumentalists Clarence McGuffie and Reggie Goodchild.
The band have released tunes with DJ Seinfeld, Daniel Avery and DJ Boring.
They play All Together Now this August.
