Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs announced their fifth studio album Death Hilarious will arrive on April 4 via Missing Piece Records/Rocket Recordings. Along with the news, the band have shared new single “Stitches” along with an animated video directed by Ben Faircloth which depicts the band being mutated and mutilated by hideous hybrid fauna from across multiple dimensions of nightmares.“Stitches” follows the release of “Detroit” that was released in November.

About the new single, frontman Matt Baty explains, “I’m aware our band sits in a world largely commandeered by bravado, confidence and machoism, but ‘Stitches’ is an expression of vulnerability, paradoxical emotions and those so familiar pangs of anxiety I wrestle with while butting heads with societal expectations and personal struggles.”

The album’s lyrics 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,” recalls Baty.“ I decided to give all these thoughts an avenue to release themselves, in the hope of exorcising them.”

Late last year, Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs released a Record Store Day exclusive vinyl release of their explosive KEXP session, which recently surpassed one million views on YouTube. Death Hilarious follows their fourth studio album Land of Sleeper.
