Chicks On Speed have announced the upcoming ‘HEARTopia’ box set.
The band occupies a unique space – between post Riot Grrrl and pre electroclash, while transcending both. They fuse significant social commentary with an artistic desire to challenge conventions.
Looking back, Chicks On Speed have curated a 37-track box set from their archives. Scheduled for release on October 17th through Grönland Records, ‘HEARTopia’ revisits over 28 years of creativity while hinting at the future.
Among the retrospectives is an entirely new album titled ‘HEARandNOWtopia’.
Co-founder Alex Murray-Leslie states…
This box set celebrates the collaborators Melissa and I have worked with, serving as catalysts; it highlights the impact of collective action and radical experimentation as a form of artistic intelligence with transformative possibilities. It represents a dedication to this world: envisioning and altering it through art and social engagement as a means of resistance and renewal in response to the urgent issues facing our planet.
The new single ‘MEAT&drag’ has been released – playfully irreverent to their own past, it showcases Chicks On Speed joyfully disregarding the rulebook once again.
The video provides a literal interpretation of the title – check it out now.
