Sub Pop announced that Montreal’s Doldrums will release their label debut, The Air Conditioned Nightmare, on CD / LP / DL April 6 in Europe and April 7 in North America. The album, led by highlights “HOTFOOT,” “Video Hostage,” “Loops” and “Blow Away,” was recorded in Montreal and LA and produced by Doldrums’ Airick Woodhead.
You can now listen to the lead single “HOTFOOT” now (see Pitchfork News Story Jan. 13th).
The Air Conditioned Nightmare is Doldrums follow-up to their 2013 debut Lesser Evil. Airick Woodhead, the DJ, producer and performer behind Doldrums makes a sizeable leap from being darling of the same fertile Montreal warehouse creative explosion that gave the world the likes of Grimes, Majical Cloudz and Blue Hawaii to simply being a stand-alone artist and composer on the cusp of something quite special.
Preorders for The Air Conditioned Nightmare are now available from Sub Pop Mega Mart, iTunes, Amazon and Bandcamp. All customers who pre-order the LP version of The Air Conditioned Nightmare from megamart.subpop.com will receive the limited “Loser Edition” on clear vinyl and a limited edition 7” which features the songs “IDONTWANNABEDELETED” (feat. Samantha Urbani) and “Market Signals.” Additionally, there will be a new T-shirt design available both individually and as part of a bundle with purchases of the new record.
