The wait is finally over. After years of speculation, Nice Nice—Jason Buehler and Mark Shirazi’s drums/guitar/loop duo—has announced that its long in the works and oft-delayed new record is coming out on Warp Records in April 2010. I know, that seems like a long wait, especially since the band’s last material dropped in 2006. But to tide us over until then, Nice Nice is releasing a 7-inch single for “One Hit” which you can download RIGHT NOW. Or stream below:

“One Hit,” which any Nice Nice fan will recognize as a staple of the band’s live set, is a nice consolidation of what the band does best: absolutely blew the minds of anyone who sees them. It’s one of the duo’s certified jams, like if Battles tried to cover something from the Nuggets comp or any local garage band decided to ditch three chords for a loop pedal. Buehler says that Nice Nice’s Warp debut, Extra Wow, attempts to capture the energy of the band’s live set, and this does a nice job of that. The b-side, “Drum Ark,” is more ambient and bloopy but no less awesome:

We really wanted to capture/reflect what we do live. We focused on trying to convey elements that we think have generally characterized our live show: high energy explosiveness, bright colorful textures, lots of rhythm, large dynamic movement, willingness to explore new directions.

The One Hit single is available for purchase on Nov. 23, and should coincide nicely (har har) with the band’s first tour across the pond. Yeah, my Tuesday just got a whole lot better.
