Montreal post-punk trio Heat will release their debut album, ‘Overnight’, on January 20, 2017 via Topshelf Records (US) / The Hand Recordings (CAN) / Rallye Records (JP). Initially starting “as an excuse to get together and drink”, Heat has grown into something far more significant and new record ‘Overnight’ offers their most notable work to-date. Led by the band’s three founding members, Susil Sharma (Vocals, Guitar, Synth), Matthew Fiorentino (Guitar, Synth), and Raphael Bussieres (Bass), Heat have become known for their dark bruising swagger and solid, old-school aesthetics delivered with a defiantly fresh-faced outlook. They were one of the most buzzed about bands at SXSW in 2015 and have been working on a full length since.
Lead single ‘Lush’ is a heavy-hearted meeting of dark sentiments and inventive instrumentals, drenched in dark shadowy tones with an aerial fresh sting on guitar. Its a melancholy anthem with raspy emotion filled gravel on vocals that almost whisper or lull, brooding and pining over an emotional wound. Heat do this tender sombre atmosphere without being totally depressing. The beautifully mellow tones on guitar and smooth synths add warmth and flashes of light to the track. Its an old school lonely cruising track with hazy vibes like a gloomy daydream. Heat display a flawless and meticulously structured track while maintaining a rawness and edge that is rugged and slurred with hazy alcohol-drowned sorrow.
