It was speculated last year that they'd be making a comeback in 2016 and while it's clear that indie rockers Hot Hot Heat will indeed be releasing new material in a few short months, their return will unfortunately be short-lived as it has been confirmed that the band's forthcoming album will be their last.
According to Noisey, the self-titled album (the Canadian group's first since Future Breeds in 2010), is set for release on 24 June and is made up of material written between 2011-2014.
In addition to the new album, Hot Hot Heat will also be dropping a 7-inch for this month's Record Store Day, which will feature new track Bobby Joan Sex Tape and unreleased demo, Nature of Things.
Commenting on the band's farewell album, frontman Steve Bays said in a statement, "To be able to tour from 1999 to 2014 and play hundreds of shows a year was amazing. It changed all of our lives.
"It was the greatest experience I could ever imagine. I can relate to our fans and I respect our fans. They are the kind of people I'd hang out with. I'm proud of every single record, and of finding the ground between making it challenging and fresh, but also not being afraid to be entertaining and put on a crazy show. Every show we ever did was just a total high energy spectacle and that's a great legacy to have."
