Sons (LP)
The Heavy
Amoeba Review
08/28/2020
Straight out of the gate, The Heavy's latest album, Sons, gets down, dirty and funky with the album opener "Heavy For You." The British indie/funk rock/neo-soul quartet keeps the energy and attitude burning throughout with tracks like "Better As One," a James Brown by way of Fela Kuti call for unity, and the snarly, swaggerin' "Fighting For The Same Thing." Album closer "Burn Bright," with its gospel-like chorus, is a chilling, soulful epic. Rarely these days do sincerity and fun go together as well as they do on Sons, so crank it up and let loose!
