Bristol punk outfit Heavy Lungs have today released their sophomore album Caviar via Fat Cat Records. Lyrically there are a few topics that are tackled on Caviar, including the notion of failure, and trying to navigate that, the feeling of being burnt out and drained, and yearning to escape all of these burdens are always close to the surface. A desire for something better than the reality at hand is a major cornerstone of the album as well. This may seem wistful, and at times bleak, on the face of it, but there’s a joy to Heavy Lungs’ brutal form of expression. They funnell life’s trials and tribulations through sticky, sweaty catharsis. Or as they put in a simple mantra: “Write fast. Play fast. Wear earplugs”

“One of the main themes of the record is a longing for a better life that currently seems beyond my grasp. The word caviar always possessed connotations of riches, status and excess. So after one late night conversation we realised it’s the perfect title to summarise this desire for elevated existence and success in one simple yet striking word.” (vocalist Danny Nedelko)

Heavy Lungs are currently on tour in Europe with upcoming dates in Bologna, Milan and London ahead of the band’s return to Europe next month, including appearances at Brighton’s The Great Escape festival and Amsterdam’s Pretty Pissed Fest.
