Hey Colossus Announce 15th Album via Short Film

Veteran DIY rockers celebrate 23 years in the game with new LP Heaven Was Wild, out next February

Hey Colossus, Heaven Was Wild

“There is a cosmic force at play with this band!” Hey Colossus – never doing anything the easy way – have just announced their new album on Christmas Day, via a mini documentary, streaming above, figuring everyone would otherwise just be sitting on their hands with little else to occupy them.

The short film was shot at their recent weekend of four London gigs in October and during their recording session for Heaven Was Wild in Bruton, Devon. The album pre-sale goes live on New Year’s Day and will be released on 27 February.

Putting the ‘sex’ back into sextet, this album combines a love for cruise control choogle, West Country cosmische and pear cider psych, with results that, the band claim, have metaphysical implications: “The magic of the Hey Colossus group is something that needs to be acknowledged and addressed more often!”
