The self-titled album is the follow-up to 2013's More Than Just a Dream. Fans who pre-order it will instantly receive first single, "HandClap." Deluxe bundles, which include a choice of the album in digital, CD or white vinyl formats paired with an exclusive t-shirt and/or slip mat, can be pre-ordered from Fitz and The Tantrums' online store.
"HandClap" can be streamed HERE. The visualizer for the song can be seen HERE.
Of the single, lead vocalist Michael Fitzpatrick says, "HandClap is a primal tale of love and lust, a call to arms in the late hours of the night. It's the X-rated version of 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' happening on a dance floor."
Fitz and The Tantrums will tour North American in June. Artist pre-sale for tickets began HERE today. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Friday, April 1, at 10 AM local time. See full routing below.
"We've always tried to push ourselves at every turn. For our third album, we continued to challenge ourselves, taking care not to write the same record again," notes Fitz.
"Overall, this is an album about desire - the desire for intimacy, for sex, for acceptance on your own terms and the struggle not to compromise," he continues.
Fitz and The Tantrums was recorded in the band's hometown of Los Angeles. Jesse Shatkin (Sia, Matt & Kim) produced eight of the album's eleven tracks. Fitz produced "Fadeback" while Joel Little (Lorde) produced "Do What You Want" and Ricky Reed (Jessie J) helmed "HandClap."
More Than Just a Dream, which has racked up over 76 million album streams to date, contained the RIAA Gold-certified singles "The Walker" (which was tapped for the 2014 Oscar ad campaign featuring Ellen DeGeneres and a cast of dancers) and "Out Of My League." Both songs were multi-format hits, topping Billboard's Alternative Songs chart at #1 and placing in the Top 5 at Triple A radio and in the Top 15 at Hot AC.
