Hot As Sun re-releases EP on June 19, premieres new music video on Noisey and gets remixed by Blood Diamonds



Hot As Sun 

Hot As Sun re-releases their acclaimed self-titled EP and premieres a new music video for "Come Come" (Tokyo Police Club Remix) on VICE's Noisey channel. Directed by the Waverlystock team, the video features choreography from LA-based dancer, Kenan Peters. Also Blood Diamonds remixes Hot As Sun's new single, "Only A Woman". Enjoy the remix and music video over at Impose!

Bio:
Hot As Sun is an artist collaboration formed by Jamie Jackson (singer/musician) and Deborah Stoll (lyricist/visual artist).  It has since expanded to a full band. After bonding over a soundbath at the integration in Joshua Tree, Jackson and Stoll soon found they shared a love of weird sounds, magic houses, Pegasus and bacon. Jamie wrote all of their songs on the omnichord and spent the summer recording the music in her loft in downtown LA with musician WAZ. Soon after music videos and live show projections were created in Deborah's house in Silverlake.

Hot As Sun's pop art aesthetic has earned them slots playing events like Peter Tunney's gallery opening in NYC, Concept LA Fashion Week at Ace Gallery in Los Angeles,  Art Basel in Miami,  and an underground pool party with water ballet troupe, The Aqualillies. Additionally, they've opened for artists such as Gotye,  Foster the People,  Phantogram,  and Active Child.

"The band's woozy electronic sound crosses Beach House, Zola Jesus and Little Dragon with a performance ethos that may owe something to the Dadaists, the Velvet Underground at the Exploding Plastic Inevitable and Allan Kaprow."
-Billboard Magazine 

"Though Hot as Sun's "Come Come" and "Only a Woman" are John Hughes montage-ready, the musicians go back even further on "New Town," with plonking keyboard chords and filtered vocals that sound like the Supremes throwing a dance party with the Strokes."
-LA Times
