HEADS ARE HEAVY | Debut EP from Pity Party's Julie Edwards (Deap Vally) & Marc Smollin Out Now

HEADS ARE HEAVY New Off-Kilter Pop Group Featuring Former Pity Party Bandmates  Julie Edwards (Deap Vally) & Marc Smollin  SELF-TITLED DEBUT EP OUT NOW - LISTEN HERE PERFORMING AT DESERT DAZE 2022 Joined On Stage by Honey Child Choir, Pony Sweat Dancers & More - Clash Music: “Ultra-ambitious songwriting that unites sonorous melody and an exquisite sense of purpose, it's a trimmed, propulsive, mini-manifesto” - BuzzBands LA: “An ennui-saturated meditation with a hazy, lo-fi soundscape”

Heads are Heavy is Julie Edwards (Deap Vally, Deap Lips, Desert Daze co-founder) and Marc Smollin. The former Pity Party bandmates (you might remember them if you listened to LA’s Indie 103.1 in the middle 2000-aughts!) reunited for the new project after discovering iPhone recordings of live jams from a rehearsal room adjacent to a poultry processing plant. HEADS ARE HEAVY, their self-titled debut EP available now, is six songs that have been 17 years in the making with tracks unearthed from an obscurity so thick even their authors knew not of its existence. The duo ended up expanding upon those recordings with co-producer Josiah Mazzaschi (Jesus & Mary Chain, Deap Vally, Childseat, Light FM) in his studio, The Cave.

Edwards and Smollin met in 8th grade at a private school in the San Fernando Valley, and did not become fast friends. However, a shared love of musical theater found them having their first kiss together in their school’s production of Little Shop of Horrors, and a creative partnership began that would last decades. Bound together by a common compulsion towards major-downer-type shit and atonal harmonies, Smollin and Edwards implicitly understand each other in a way no other can, and within the folds of their co-psychic arcanity, fragmented shards of pop and poetry congeal into misshapen lumps, shining and dull. And that is Heads are Heavy. Heads are Heavy are set to perform their first ever live set at Desert Daze 2022, and will be joined on stage by Honey Child Choir, the Pony Sweat dancers, co-producer Josiah Mazzaschi, and a one-time drag performance by Andrea Neutergina aka Andy Barbato, the executive chef at the new Butcher’s Daughter in West Hollywood opening this week.  ‘HEADS ARE HEAVY’ TRACK LIST 1 - A Different Day 2 - Apocalypse 3 - Tar 4 - Blaze 5 - That Sounds Okay 6 - Don't Even Try
