The Presets Are Drip Feeding Their New Album ‘HI VIZ’

Anticipation for The Presets’ fourth studio album, ‘HI VIZ’ is at fever pitch. Dropping three official singles in the lead up, the group continue to take to social media to tease some more album tracks.

Tools Down has to be the workout anthem for the year. Riding a classic techno beat, The Presets play mercy to their fun and weird claustrophobic electronica. Though Tools Down could be the album’s biggest banger, newly shred Are You Here is a proxy psych moment that seems incredibly deep to sink your teeth into. It also features DMAs. Not to mention the extreme visual accompaniment. It’s crystal clear The Presets have a mindset and goal for ‘HI VIZ’ and they’re not backing down on it.

So far, The Presets have shared three amazing full-length tasters of ‘HI VIZ’—Downtown Shutdown14U+14ME and Do What You Want. The album also features the talents from DZ Deathrays‘ Shane Parsons, Kirin J CallinanAlison Wonderland, Jake Shears, DMAsRromarinTouch Sensitive and more. The group have delivered a back-to-basics set, deliberately curated as a proxy for The Presets’ live experience.

The Presets will be on tour soon behind the album. Scope those dates HERE.

The Presets – 'Tools Down' (album preview)

💦🛠🚧 TRACK 7 :: TOOLS DOWN 🚧🛠💦Sometimes, after a long, hard week, the only way to truly unwind is to dive head first into a longer, harder night. So throw those tools down, rip those shirts off and let us do some of the work… Jake Shears and Fritz Helder got here hours ago and the place is pumping. FEEL the power.#HIVIZJune1 Visuals by Jonathan Zawada
