Clean Cut Kid have confirmed the release date of their fourth studio album.
'HISS' will arrive on November 11 via Alcopop! Records and feature the newly unveiled single Inside My Head, a cheery, acoustic guitar-led track.

"As a songwriter, I’ve always had two opposing sets of feelings about what I do. On the one hand you’re very proud of, and almost defined by what you see as kind of a 'gift', and on the other hand it feels like the most pathetic and self obsessed existence. Inside My Head is me asking the question 'what will I be as a person when this gift eventually dries up?'. It culminates in one of my biggest fears: that I’ll have let music rule my life so much I’ll miss out on having a family."
"Like all of the other videos for 'HISS', Inside My Head was filmed on ultra 8 Kodak 50D film using a Canon 1218. My aim with all of the visuals for this record was to capture something that means a lot to me, in its purest form. Filmed on a beautiful day at Formby beach, with two of my favourite people on planet earth, and using only Michel Gondry style physical effects. It’s about as honest and full of love as a music video can be."
The four-piece initially announced the follow-up to 2020's 'Mother's Milk' back in August 2021. It'll also include the previously released singles Heavy As, Lewis, Be Brave and Little Black Space.
