The fifth album from Newcastle's riff wizards Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs is defined by calculated aggression and self-lacerating lyrics. Its startling bonuses include playful synth work and the appearance of a giant from hip-hop. With its title juxtaposing absurdity and seriousness, this is Death Hilarious. Whereas 2023's Land Of Sleeper was conceived as an immersive headphones experience, this time Pigs strove for something more directly hostile. "We wanted it to be a slap in the face,"Â grins producer and guitarist Sam Grant. That objective came, in part, from playing so many gigs over the last couple of years. The band felt well-oiled and ripe to give listeners at home the kind of pummelling their audiences receive. As for the words, they emerged from a bout of anxiety which derailed Matt Baty's self-confidence to the extent that he wondered whether he'd be able to write any lyrics again. With his mind telling him he'd lost it and no longer had anything to say, the solution was to embrace the disquiet. After a while I realised this is my muse," remembers Baty.
