Bristol punk band Heavy Lungs have dropped their explosive new single, ‘Yes Chef,’ and revealed details of an extensive UK/EU tour spanning April and May (dates below). The track is the opener from their second album, Caviar, which arrives April 18th via Fat Cat Records.
‘Yes Chef’ perfectly captures the frenetic energy of a busy kitchen, delivering a chaotic burst of sound that’s over almost as quickly as it begins. With its clattering, mechanical rhythms, the song leaves listeners breathless and wanting more. Caviar promises to be just as intense.
Of the track, the band share,
Order up! The second single, “Yes Chef,” from our sophomore dish Caviar is ready to be served. This ode to working, sweating and swearing in the kitchen comes at you in a tasty bite-sized offering of under two minutes worth of flavour. If you got time to lean, you got time to spin this track until it sizzles. Everybody loves a bit of personal touch to these so-called “write-ups” so here you go, me (Danny) and James first met in the kitchen. It was just like the movie Ghost but with bagels instead of pottery.
Lyrically, Caviar explores several themes. The album delves into the concept of failure and the struggle to navigate it. Feelings of burnout and exhaustion, coupled with the desire to escape these burdens, are ever-present. A yearning for something more than the current reality forms a major cornerstone of the album’s narrative.
