Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs announce new album ‘Death Hilarious,’ share “Stitches”
‘Death Hilarious’ is Pigsx7’s fifth album and features a guest appearance by Run the Jewels’ El-P. It’s out April 4.
UK hard rock band Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs have announced their fifth album, Death Hilarious, which will be out April 4 via Missing Piece in the US and Rocket Recordings in the rest of the world. “We wanted it to be a slap in the face,” says producer and guitarist Sam Grant.
“There’s a lot more uncertainty and insecurity across society at the moment,” says drummer Ewan Mackenzie of the album’s grim themes. “Rather than resort to forced optimism, I think it’s important to respond with something that’s real and felt.” The album also features El-P of Run the Jewels on a track.
The first single from the album is “Stitches,” which comes with a dirty riff filtched from Motörhead but belies more tender themes. Frontman Matt Baty says, “I’m aware our band sits in a world largely commandeered by bravado, confidence and machoism, but ‘Stitches’ is an expression of vulnerability, paradoxical emotions and those so familiar pangs of anxiety I wrestle with while butting heads with societal expectations and personal struggles.” Listen below.
