Artist News Gigs & Festivals Releases
Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs announce visceral new album
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 14 January 2020
Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs have announced that they will release their third album – titled ‘Viscerals’ – later this year. Marking the news, they’ve put out the LP’s first single, ‘Reducer’.
“We booked dates in [guitarist Sam Grant’s] studio before we’d
written 80% of the album”, says the band’s Adam Ian Sykes of how the
record came together. “We definitely thrive under pressure. It’s
stressful but that stress seems to manifest itself in a positive way”.
Of the band’s swift career progression, fellow band member Matt Baty
adds: “We’re a peculiar bunch of people – a precarious balance of
passion, intensity and the absurd. At times it feels like we’re on a
playground roundabout and there’s a fanatical group of people pushing it
to turn faster. Then when it’s at peak speed they all jump on too and
for just a few minutes we all feel liberated, together”.
