Heavy Salad return, with not one but TWO brand new albums!
Long Wave l and Long Wave ll were recorded between 2021 and 2023 and started life as a file sharing project in the isolation of the first lockdown before blossoming into 18 brand new songs. Recorded in Manchester at Oxygene Studios with long-time collaborator, producer Christophe Bride and in London at The Bunker at 13 (in Damon Albarn’s Studio 13) with legendary Blur / The Smiths / The Cranberries producer Stephen Street.
Lead singer and bass player Lee Mann on working with Stephen Street:
“When we tentatively sent an email to Stephen we did not really expect to hear back from him, he’d been on our list of pipe dream producers to work with as we are huge fans of his work with legendary bands like Blur and The Smiths, so when he emailed back and said he liked the demos and was keen to work with us it was a real wtf moment, especially for an independent band like ourselves.”
Write to The Dead is a perfect mix of enchantingly dark indie and light pop. This juxtaposition of genre bending brings an exciting collective work of artistry.
Heavy salad showcase a talent for creating intrigue that should not go unnoticed, now with backing of an influential producer who knows what comes next ?
Catch their latest releases from the 12th of April.
