Hitchhike Through The English Countryside in New Video For Lead Single:

Today, ATO Records introduces The Heavy Heavy. Led by Will Turner and Georgie Fuller, the Brighton, UK-based band warps time and place through an unfettered collision of rock n roll, psychedelic blues, acid rock and sunshine pop. Across their debut Life and Life Only EP, the group breathes incandescent new energy into sounds from decades ago, transcending eras with euphoric ease as they tap into musical touchstones that range from folk-blues duo Delaney & Bonnie, Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac and British Invasion acts like The Hollies, to a sonic alchemy all their own. Full of effusive harmonies and fuzzed-out guitar on tracks like the whirlwind road trip of "Miles and Miles," the near-operatic epic of "Sleeping on Grassy Ground," the rapturous opening of "All My Dreams," and "Go Down River," the first song they ever recorded together, Life and Life Only pulls listeners into a sublime fugue state, leaving one newly awakened to infinite possibilities.

An expanded Life and Life Only is now available on all digital platforms via ATO Records, including remastered versions of the EP's original five songs, plus the previously unreleased "Why Don't You Call?," a single edit of "Miles and Miles," unseen artwork and more.

Watch the brand new music video for "Miles and Miles," filmed in Brighton and out today, which sees The Heavy Heavy hitchhike through the pastoral type of countryside their music evokes, in between roaring sets at the rock clubs they continue to frequent across the UK: https://atorecords-ffm.com/thh_miles

While The Heavy Heavy self-produced Life and Life Only in a London flat, the music begs to be blared across the festival fields they will soon be playing. Channeling the enchanted energy of Will Turner's Malvern homeland — a stretch of England famous for the healing qualities of its water, and ancient trees where the Druids used to worship — songs like "Man of the Hills" prove a transportive power they are about to bring on the road this fall.

Recently extended into a five-piece lineup with an even more vast, harmony-laden sound, The Heavy Heavy will head to the United States for the very first time in September. A stint at Nashville's AmericanaFest will be followed by shows with Black Pumas, St. Paul and The Broken Bones, and The Record Company, plus headline dates at New York City's Mercury Lounge on Sept 28th and Los Angeles' Troubadour on Oct 24th. Find tickets here, and stay tuned for a major fall tour to be announced this month.

The Heavy Heavy's music has recently been heard on shows like Amazon's Outer Range, NBC's Manifest, CW's Walker and Superman & Lois, but having written and recorded hundreds of new songs in the last two years alone, a full-length debut is slated for 2023. "The driving force behind all our songwriting is to feel good, and to make other people feel good too," says Georgie Fuller, whose accomplished young career has also included performing at Montreux Jazz Festival as a teenager, as well as acting in the London theater.
