Root rockers Heavy Feather are back with new music. Their upcoming sophomore album ‘Mountain of Sugar’ is to be released by The Sign Records in spring 2021, with heavier 60’s and 70’s rock influences, and amazing blues vocals at the chore of the release.
When Heavy Feather’s first album ‘Débris & Rubble’ (2019) was released, it became praised by both press and audience; taking the band out to tour Europe. Now it ́s time for their second album, ‘Mountain of sugar’; an even rawer, heavier, and harder release than the previous one, still with the root rock and psychedelic touch at the very core.
“Mountain of Sugar” consists of 11 roots-rock tracks oozing with a 70’s sound and feel, filled with attitude and raw vocals from blues singer Lisa Lystam. Catchy hooks and roaring guitar riffs are based on influences from the greats of the 60s and 70s, drawing inspiration from bands such as Free, Cream, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. The band then adds their own unique touch to the tracks, creating a unique and intricate sound that few can deny.
2020 started off with the band going into the No Regrets Fonogram Studio in Stockholm to record an album filled with soul and creativity. Still with musical roots in the ’60s, the result was a rock album with a modern twist that undoubtedly fills a void on the rock scene today. Just like their first album, this one was also recorded together with the producer Erik “Errka” Petersson. With some help from Pink Floyd’s former mixer table, he gave the songs completely new dimensions. In addition, the band had the honor to work with Magnus Lindberg, who has previously mastered bands such as Lucifer and Imperial State Electric.
