PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS Announce New Album Details And Extensive Tour News


We’re over the moon to announce our new album ‘Land of Sleeper’. It is our fourth studio album and is released on February 17th 2023 via Rocket Recordings.

Pre-order and pre-save options can be found below.

In addition to this news, we are also happy to share the first single from the album 'Mr Medicine’, and we’re equally ecstatic to share the news that we have yet more live shows to announce: this time in New York, Los Angeles, London, Brighton and Bristol.

Lets get into it:

LAND OF SLEEPER

We’re back. A bit darker and heavier than before, but we’ll let you be the judge of that.

The album is available on multiple editions - vinyl, CD and digital. For more information and to pre-order the album, please visit: https://pigsx7.ffm.to/landofsleeper

The album features 8 tracks and runs for 40 minutes. Cover art by Callum Rooney.

Tracklisting:

01. Ultimate Hammer
02. Terror's Pillow
03. Big Rig
04. The Weatherman
05. Mr Medicine
06. Pipe Down!
07. Atlas Stone
08. Ball Lightning

‘Land of Sleeper’ also hosts guest turns from Kate Smith, Sally Pilkington, Cath Tyler and Richard Dawson.

MR MEDICINE

Providing some absurdity to contrast against the heft of ‘Terror’s Pillow’ (which we unveiled in live session form a few weeks back) is our friendly neighbourhood general practitioner, ‘Mr Medicine’. This is first song taken from the record comes in the compact form. Our Sam says it's “song written to be a sonic arrow, purposefully succinct with no fat and no detours.”

Official Music video is on the way - made with director Wilm Danby, and shot in Newcastle in September 2022. In the meantime dose up on the audio here:
