The Heavy Heavy

With the arrival of their debut EP Life and Life Only, The Heavy Heavy immediately filled a void in the musical landscape, delivering a soulful breed of rock & roll untouched by modern artifice. As audiences across the globe grew enchanted with their era-bending sound, the UK-based band began selling out headline shows in major cities like New York and Chicago and earning critical comparisons to Jefferson Airplane, The Band, The Mamas & The Papas, and more—all with only a handful of songs to their name, including two top five AAA radio singles. After spending the past two years on the road and in the studio, The Heavy Heavy now draw listeners even deeper into their dreamworld with their long-awaited debut album One Of A Kind. Written by co-founders Georgie Fuller and William Turner and recorded at Turner’s studio in Brighton, One Of A Kind maintains the self-contained approach of Life and Life Only—a project acclaimed by outlets like NME (who named them an essential emerging artist for 2023) and The Guardian (who noted that The Heavy Heavy “write and play music with that lick of madness that makes early Fleetwood Mac and peak Stones so thrilling”). Turner produced, engineered, and mixed every track and handled most of the LP’s lavish instrumentation, with The Heavy Heavy’s live band lending their explosive energy to the album. But in a departure from the EP, One Of A Kind leans away from Laurel Canyon-esque folk-rock and fully embraces their British roots.
