It’s Young Fathers’ follow-up to 2018’s Cocoa Sugar.
Young Fathers have released their new album Heavy Heavy on New Music Friday – stream it right here on Live4ever.
The Mercury Prize winning group began to make their return last summer with what proved to be the standalone single Geronimo – ‘coming back with a track called Geronimo feels quite fitting, just the three of us again but still in a fucking basement’, they said at the time – and by October had confirmed the details of their new full length studio record.
“Heavy Heavy could be a mood, or it could describe the smoothed granite of bass that supports the sound,” they explained of the title.
“Or it could be a nod to the natural progression of boys to grown men and the inevitable toll of living, a joyous burden, relationships, family, the natural momentum of a group that has been around long enough to witness massive changes.”
