London theatrical collective HMLTD have released their third studio album, FANGS, through Lucky Number, completing a dramatic reinvention from glam-punk agitators into unapologetic architects of high-concept electronic dance-rock. The release follows flamboyant advance singles "I Used To Ride In Limousines", "Blitzkrieg", and "Umami".
On "Umami", the group channel the hyper-distorted, bass-heavy sounds of late-2000s bloghouse, Eurodance, and early-2010s commercial EDM, filtering those nostalgic club elements through biting satire and theatrical grandeur. HMLTD celebrate after-hours nightlife while ruthlessly dissecting modern consumer hedonism.
Alongside the album launch, HMLTD have detailed a February 2027 UK tour featuring major concerts in Manchester, Birmingham, London, Bristol, and Brighton. The band continue to reject standard alternative-rock tropes, delivering maximalist spectacles designed to thrill and provoke.
For anyone who fondly remembers the era when electroclash and questionable fluoro sunglasses ruled basement clubs, FANGS delivers an irresistible jolt of energy. Explore more electronic rock in our electronic archive.
