New York City dance-punk band !!! (Chk Chk Chk) has released new album Shake The Shudder TODAY on Warp Records. The band will kick off tour later this month. All dates are listed below.
Shake The Shudder was recorded at the band’s home studio in Brooklyn, produced by longtime collaborator Patrick Ford at Taaffe Palace, and mixed by dance luminaries Phil Moffa, Joakim and Matt Wiggins, the album features a cast of changing singers from Lea Lea, Meah Pace, Nicole Fayu, Cameron Mesirow and Molly Schnick.
The album title is a fancy way of saying “shake it off and dance your cares away.” This is a band that’s grown together as musicians, performers and individuals for more than twenty years. In the evolution of their ever-punk attitude, !!! has determined that the sound of protest can be a march, or it can be a sick groove paired with some short shorts.
