"Dwight's Daily Dose of New Music" There's a "Hurricane Coming"

Today's Dose is the new one from the band who brought us "How You Like me Now". The new one from the heavy is called "Hurricane Coming"

Here is some info from Red Light:

The Heavy have announced their new album AMEN, out April 21. Some of their finest work yet, AMEN boasts 10 new songs of relentless energy from The Heavy, a band that has spent the past decade soundtracking huge moments in pop culture with their distinct brand of seditious blues drama, soul and gospel passion, the crunch of prime hip-hop and garage punk’s visceral electricity. To name a few: their music battered at the winter cabin windows of Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight, swept Obama to a second term and knocked Mark Wahlberg for six in The Fighter. The Heavy also made history as the first band to get an encore demand from David Letterman on The Late Show, a show they’ve performed on twice, in addition to performances on The Daily Show, CBS Saturday Morning, and CONAN. 

 

Marking the announcement, they have unleashed the first taste of the record with new single “Hurricane Coming.” Tearing through like a buzz funk tornado, “Hurricane Coming” kicks the door down on the new era of The Heavy, opening their sixth album with an exhilarating maelstrom of ‘60s R&B riffs, horns and gospel harmonies.

 

It was inspired by frontman Kelvin Swaby who was caught up in Hurricane Irma soon after moving to the US. “The power of that, and it only touched us at, like, a category one,” he recalls. “It's just the way that relationships are as well. It was like ‘just be careful of taking something beautiful for granted’. Don't take people for fools. There's always something waiting, lurking, even...”

 

With Daniel Taylor (guitar), Spencer Page (bass) and Chris Ellul (drums) remaining in the UK, the songs on AMEN were written during sessions in Florida at the end of their 2019 US tour and demoed when Kelvin visited the UK in February 2020. AMEN was recorded at Rockfield Studios, produced with Tchad Blake (The Black Keys, U2), and engineered with Real World Studios’ Joe Jones.
