WATCH & SHARE: HOTT MT – “At Night in Chinatown”
“The alluringly ethereal track recalls both the winsomely sexy pop sensibility of Saint Etienne and the gossamer sonics of Slowdive. (Think Haight Ashbury meets Madchester meets some faraway galaxy.)”
– Blackbook
“Hour Of The Time Majesty Twelve (HOTT MT), are taking the psych-rock world by storm”
– Wonderland Magazine
Today, LA-based experimental pop duo, HOTT MT, share their video for “Traceforming” via Blackbook. The song is from their forthcoming new album ‘AU’ (Alternate Universe,) out this Thursday, May 4th via their own label, Mutation Records.
“At Night In Chinatown” – also from the forthcoming release – debuted on Wonderland Magazine. The video was shot at their own warehouse space in Los Angeles, Non Plus Ultra, which was recently shut down. The duo says of their recent loss, “All of us at Non Plus Ultra have been together for years. Our ideals brought us together, and we built a space and a business on them. Non Plus Ultra showed us that we aren’t alone in our desires. There are so many people in this town who share our values. We’ve made and lost spaces before, but this time we’ve got an incredible support system.”
LA Weekly just named HOTT MT #25 on their list for “The 30 Best LA Rock Bands from the Past Decade, ” and said, “They’re the most ambitious psych-rock band in L.A., who stalked Flaming Lip’s Wayne Coyne into a collaboration in 2012, and quietly dropped a track last year they produced for Kesha, without permission from Dr. Luke. They referred to the leak as “musical terrorism,” a bold statement by the landlords of L.A.’s most interesting art space, Non Plus Ultra.”
