DESERT SHIPS ANNOUNCE NEW SINGLE ‘HEAVY SOUP’

Following the BBC Radio 6 Music played singles ‘Neon’, ’Fire On The Moon’, and ‘Watching The World Stop’, London’s Desert Ships announce the release of new single ‘Heavy Soup’ on Friday 27th January 2023.

‘Heavy Soup’ is an infectious and uptempo fuzz blast through the cosmos and tells the story of a star gazer who despite copious warnings often finds themselves in sticky situations. A desire to escape the day to day grind, and the lure of temptation - the doing something we know we shouldn’t - leads our character to being “…stuck in heavy soup again”. It's about learning from mistakes, or maybe not in this case.

It was produced by vocalist/guitarist Mikey Buckley and recorded & mixed at his home studio. Desert Ships - completed by Daniel McLean (bass/synth) and Claude Trejonis (drums/vocals) - demonstrate once again the quality of their craft and an astute ear for an entrancing arrangement. These lifelong friends blend garage rock, dream pop and neo-psychedelia to create their own sci-fi blues.

A recent and scintillating live session for Act Cool Records confirmed that “Desert Ships are a fantastic band that deliver groovy, hypnotic tunes” (Music Is To Blame).

Director Gil De Ray brings his wizardry to the accompanying video and deliver the ultimate visual experience.

Mastered by Tim Turan (Supergrass, Killing Joke), ‘Heavy Soup’ is available to stream/download on Friday 27th January 2023.
