Catalog Number: IGN260TC Color: Red Format: 12" UPC: 5052946260050 The first new music from Hard-Fi since 2014. The band's 2005 debut album Stars Of CCTV had immediate success reaching no 1 in the UK, going double platinum and was Mercury Prize-shortlisted. Rolling around a sun-scorched groove and boisterous beats, 'Don't Go Making Plans' is an immediate, soul-infused summer anthem, recorded at the band's own Staines studio, produced by frontman Richard Archer and long-term contributor Wolsey White. It's the end result of the first session together since 2011 album Killer Sounds. As with many of the band's songs, there is a thought-provoking depth behind Hard-Fi's pop sensibility. The song's defiant themes were initially inspired by the UK Government's attempts to criminalise many aspects of popular protest through the 2022 Public Order Act, while the issue has been thrown into even sharper focus over the last year as police and people have repeatedly clashed on streets around the globe.
