Australian alt-dance trio Haiku Hands (Claire Nakazawa, Beatrice Lewis, and Mie Nakazawa) have shared their new single, "Cool For You", as the latest preview of their new album Pleasure Beast.

Produced by Motez (Flume, Disclosure, Sam Smith, Tkay Maidza), "Cool for You" recalls XTRMNTR-era Primal Scream, The Chemical Brothers, and The Prodigy as it confronts corporate sterility and consumption.

Of the single, Bea Lewis says: “This song is about feeling yourself, being at a party and enjoying being yourself. Being with your crew and feeling everybody, it’s the antithesis of capitalism — that you need to be something else, that you need another product to feel good, that you need anything. It's a statement that you’re already good. In fact you’re already awesome and mad and lit and you should be singing it from the rooftop and celebrating yourself and backing yourself and feeling yourself. It still gives me goosebumps when I listen to it even though I’ve heard it a million times. It’s liftoff baby!!!!"

Haiku Hands also announce a UK tour for January/February 2024 in support of Pleasure Beast, which will come hot off the heels of their US tour with Big Freedia next month, bringing their nonstop live show to Glasgow, Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham, Brighton, Bristol, and London's Oslo on 2 February.

Haiku Hands' forthcoming album, Pleasure Beast, is set for release on 1 December via Spinning Top Records.
