Hot Chip are warming up for a new release next year, with the release of a new album of material in 2010.

"There will be a new album, set for release in February, to warm the cockles of your soul right in the middle of the bleak mid-winter. We're just completing the finishing touches right now, and we're also gearing up for a return, possibly triumphant, to the live arena, as a UK tour is also in the offing for February," reads the notice on their web site.

They're also throwing a new song and exclusive video out in front of us for anyone that pre-orders the album right now.
