Deadweights is the new single by Brighton's Seadog to be released as a limited edition 7" lathe cut vinyl on Austerity Records. Produced by Jack Wolter, the track features the vocal harmonies of Jack and Lily Wolter, both from the band Penelope Isles, while Jack also drums on the track. Deadweights is taken from Seadog's forthcoming album, Internal Noise, recorded at Bella Union's Brighton studio and due to be released this autumn on Austerity Records.

The song's theme encapsulates a sense of relentless heaviness that the burden of insomnia can inflict on a mind that refuses to shut down. Having suffered from insomnia for many years, vocalist Mark wanted to express the type of feeling the body can experience when you're emotionally and physically exhausted from sleep deprivation, and it can feel like you're stuck in a rut that's hard to climb out of.
