Red Bull Sound Select Presents: Portland
HOTT MT (Hour Of The Time Majesty Twelve), is an enigmatic post-pop collective based in Los Angeles, CA. Thoughts and anxieties about myth, fantasy, and Thailand prompt the group’s sound, content, and actions.
HOTT MT made headlines in 2012 when they drove from LA to Oklahoma City to pay homage to Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips. The trip resulted in a collaboration between Coyne and HOTT MT on the song “Never Hate Again”, as well as music for Ke$ha and Erykah Badu. “Never Hate Again” was released by Origami Vinyl in August 2012 with an accompanying video also featuring Coyne.
HOTT MT have recently returned to LA after showcasing at the SXSW music festival in Austin TX, and are currently working on new music with Artist / Producer Pop Levi. Other highlights include work w/ The Flaming Lips on a Stone Roses cover album (release TBD), and live dates with Bat For Lashes, Wavves, Django Django, The Mynabirds, Vinyl Williams, Robert DeLong, NO, Hands, and The Flaming Lips on their Guinness World Record-setting event. Their debut full-length “I Made This” was released on May 21, and future plans include showcasing at CMJ and a West Coast tour in early-Fall.
