LISTEN: Heavy Heart - 'Cry Ice'

Since first listening to London alt-rockers Heavy Heart back in March or April, I've spotted their name cropping up a lot - with recent radio support from Phil Taggart and Steve Lamacq and shows and support slots for the likes of Communion Presents. 

New song Cry Ice, the third of a trilogy of singles that the band are releasing in 2019, is an atmospheric and emotionally charged track. The quartet describe it as being "about the end of a love affair; the glacial, slow, final moments of it all. Specifically, the song is about two people dying together on the side of a mountain, frozen forever just out of reach of each other." The dreamiest of dream pop.

LISTEN: Heavy Heart - 'Dowsabel'

Heavy Heart have shared new track Dowsabel, the second of three tracks set for release in 2019, mixed and co-produced by Grammy award-winning Gabe Wax (Fleet Foxes, Soccer Mommy), following up January release Bed Bug. The South-London four piece, made up of Anna Vincent (lead vocals, guitar), Patrick Fitzroy (guitar, backing vocals), James Vincent (guitar, backing vocals) and Craig Brown (drums), are creating a reputation for delivering captivating dream pop tracks and atmospheric live shows. With support slots for Another Sky and Honey Lung under their belts, they've got shows coming up with Big Spring (16th April) and Desert Mountain Tribe (2nd May) and a London headline show in June to look forward to! 

Describing the origins of the new track, the band revealed that: "Dowsabel is an old English word for sweetheart, and this song is about a love affair, but it's a bittersweet, broken and defeated one. It's about the jagged edges and the blood we draw; the damage that we do to each other in the name of love. Living in a room filled with dust, dying flowers, and the ghosts of unspoken words, we're together but alone, too afraid to walk away, prisoners in an unlocked cage."
