Heat Post “Day in Day Out” Video; New Album Coming Soon

heat

So when Heat put out their latest video, it was tagged to the news from their label, This Charming Man Records, that their third full-length and the follow-up to 2014’s Labyrinth (discussed here) would be out this summer. Well, it’s not quite summer yet, but it’s not far off, and more concrete word of a correspondingly more concrete release date has yet to surface so far as I know. That kind of thing happens. Delays in mixing, mastering, pressing, shipping, etc. Even once you actually get past songwriting and recording, there are a million things that can make a summer record turn into an autumn record. Or winter, or next year, or 15 years later. You know how it goes.

I bring it up because the Heat video in question, for their late-2016 single, “Day in Day Out,” came out in February. Why wasn’t it posted here before? Because sometimes shit gets by me until the band emails or sends a note on Thee Facebooks and says something like, “Hey dope, post our video” —heat note: Heat were actually way more polite about it than that, as are most. I never claimed perfection and I’m a firm believer in better-late-than-never, so yeah, I’ll post a Heat video a little ways after the fact, particularly as it seems like it could be any day now there will be some news about that next long-player, and double-particularly for the laid back ’70s boogie that “Day in Day Out” proffers in its quick, under-three-minute run.

On the 7″, the track comes complemented by the longer “Time to Believe,” and both bask in a natural and vintage feel. Recorded by now-former bassist Richard Behrens (also ex-Samsara Blues Experiment), the two-songer is a quick glimpse at the traditionalism the Berlin-based fivesome had on offer through Labyrinth and their preceding 2012 debut, Old Sparky (review here), and as they comment below, the simple idea behind the video for “Day in Day Out” is to show the band having a good time. They both look and sound like they are, so I guess the mission stands accomplished. They even ride bikes. What’s more fun than that?

When/if I hear something about their next album, I’ll let you know, and I’ll do my best to not make it months after the fact. In the meantime, you can enjoy Heat‘s “Day in Day Out” clip below, followed by more info about the single.

Heat, “Day in Day Out” official video

Heat on “Day in Day Out”:

“Our take on classic 70’s hard rock, we stayed true to our favourite decade with a completely analogue double A-side 7″, recorded and mixed straight to tape. This was executed by Richard Behrens at Big Snuff Studio in a 100% authentic and honest way. No computers involved! And that’s what we tried to capture in the video: no frills, no special effects, just us having a good time. Hope you dig it!”

The first song after “Labyrinth” – some cool tunes from Berlin’s finest HEAT, who are right now in the studio working on the last tiny things for the upcoming third full length! Prepare for a rockmonster in summer 2017!

“Day In Day Out” is taken from the brand new same titled 7″ single available on wax or digital here:
