Fresh from a slot at Indiepop All-dayer in Leicester, Cambridge indie pop trio Mammoth Penguins are pleased to reveal their new single ‘Everything That I Write’ set for release on 13th March 2024.
The track is the latest to be taken from their forthcoming new album Here set for release on 3rd May 2024 via Fika Recordings, and follows on from lead single ‘SPECIES’ released last month.
Commenting on the track, which examines the dynamics of trust and intimacy in a long term relationship, vocalist Emma Kupa says: “Transparency is important in relationships and sharing your location can help someone not worry when your partner is travelling home late at night. This song is mainly about when someone has access to every part of your life and brain, and then in the last verse I’m just complaining.”
Recorded, edited, and mixed at Sickroom Studios in Norfolk by Owen Turner, the new album was produced by drummer Tom Barden, with string arrangements, cello and violin on Here and Success by Mary Erskine, and mastered by Joe Caithness.
Here leans into the band’s raw pop-punk power-trio sound more than ever, with a deep growl of layered guitars and bursts of percussion and harmony. The songs and artwork explore themes of finding a home for yourself and familiarity with people and places.
Although they return to a classic three-piece sound, Mammoth Penguins weren’t restricted by that palette, adding finishing touches of percussion, extra guitars and backing vocals in short bursts in a garden shed, and also bringing in gorgeous strings to sweeten the title track.
The ‘Penguins have already been hard at work smashing some high-profile support slots in the lead up to the album release, including Allo Darlin’s joyous reunion at Islington Assembly Hall (Oct 2023) and Muncie Girls last ever London show (Dec 2023).
They play Wales Goes Pop in March, before heading out on a UK co-headline tour with Broken Chanter in support of the new album in May 2024, with tickets on sale now.
