Update: Hot Chip’s new album is called One Life Stand, due out Feb. 9th

As we told you earlier this month, Hot Chip will return in 2010 with a new studio album and global tour to boot. As we learned today, courtesy of a press released that arrived in the ol’ inbox a few moments ago, the name of said new studio album will be One Life Stand and it will be available on February 9th via Astralwerks.

Billed as Hot Chip’s “most complete work to date,” One Life Stand is said to be more cohesive, more soulful, and more ambitious than any of the band’s previous studio efforts. A tall promise for sure, but one which will probably be backed up if the following description (found on the aforementioned press release) proves to be accurate:

One Life Stand sees a proliferation of influences as diverse as the burgeoning UK funky scene to soul music, modern R&B, Northern Soul, Gospel, Golden Age Electronica, House, the sounds of Arthur Russell, Prince and Theo Parish- and they all sit effortlessly alongside the band’s signature pop aesthetics, wild electronics, off kilter beats and intoxicating musical experimentation in a way that only Hot Chip can execute.

The album will be available for pre-orders via Amazon.com and the band’s online store (the latter includes an early mp3 preview). Tour dates follow.
