Nottingham alternative four-piece Catch Fire unveil new single Heist today. Upbeat, anthemic and honest, Heist follow previous singles Malignance and Petrifaction.
‘Heist is a song about depression and mental health. Heist is a metaphor for the depression breaching into your mind and sanity, and taking everything you have. It’s about comparing everyone else’s seemingly happy state to yours, and the envy and sadness that can bring. Lyrically, it’s a spilling of thoughts about my own mental health, and my journey to finding the happy person I once was again’
– Ash Wain, drums
Catch Fire recently announced that their debut album, Karma Owes Me A Lifetime Of Happiness, is due 16th November on Rude Records. Produced by Bob Cooper (Ducking Punches, Nervus) and mixed by Seth Henderson (Knuckle Puck, Real Friends, The Devil Wears Prada), the record sees Catch Fire’s sound scale new heights.
‘We started writing back in the July of 2017, just because myself and Miles (vocals) are always excited to see what we come up with in the moment. We had no intention to write an album, but months later, Rude Records proposed a full length opportunity where we could put these new songs into context.
‘KOMALOH is a concept album, dealing with a personification of the notion of Karma, or more importantly, its absence. I have always struggled to believe in this idea that what goes around comes around, because for the most part all I see are bad things happening to good people. It’s a nice idea on paper, and I think that more than anything, it’s a way for people to deal with what comes next after we’re gone. But I’ll believe it when I see it’
