Heatwave In The Cold North

Product Information

July was largely expected to be the hottest month of the year, surpassing June temperatures, as experts predicted more heatwaves in the coming days. But a new anticyclone dubbed Charon, who in Greek mythology was the ferryman of the dead, pushed into the region from north Africa on Sunday and could lift temperatures above 45 Celsius (113 Fahrenheit) in parts of Italy early this week. The country’s blazing mercury led to the death of a 44-year-old man, while a tourist from the UK visiting Rome’s Colosseum fainted, prompting health warnings.

The melodic summer anthem-in-waiting infuses tropical, rhythmic beats, sailing along on a shimmering string section and The Reverend’s renowned smooth lyricism, it all combines to make a statement of intent for their forthcoming album. Dr Mabon explained that while it is difficult to pinpoint a single factor responsible for making Europe warm so fast, due to the complex relationships between the different elements in the system, “we can be in absolutely no doubt that a critical driver behind this warming trend is carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels”. Frontman Jon McClure described it as as being about “lazing around on a sunny day with your lover getting stoned.

As the UK gets prolonged showers – the Met Office predicts unsettled conditions to continue for the next few days – the Mediterranean region grapples with soaring heat that could touch a new European record as soon as this week. The initiative saw fans and musicians sending in letters addressing it to their 21 year-old selves, which included famous faces like Brian Eno, Mel C, Carl Barat and more. A hazy, sun drenched Barry White-inspired soul bop, the opening single from forthcoming album of the same name has become their biggest hit in over a decade, having been added to Radio 2's B list and being named their Record of the Week. The band also shared the second taster from the record, which you can listen to below, following the release of the album’s title track earlier this year.

From giving reflective life lessons to his 21 year-old self like “To tell ya not let such fears / Dominate any o’ ya bestest years” to the more candid advice “Take care that your friends and peers / Don’t get near with the bags of gear…”, ‘A Letter To My 21 Year Old Self’ is poignant, introspective and highly personal. A deadly heatwave sweeping across Europe with temperatures forecast to shatter records in the coming days stands in complete contrast to the weather faced by the United Kingdom that has had wet and windy conditions continuing this week. Therefore it is likely the high-pressure system and climate change are the main contributors to this heatwave event,” she said. Jon has proved himself to be a prolific collaborator, with writing credits including albums such as Favourite Worst Nightmare by Arctic Monkeys .After six Top 20 albums and a continued restless spirit of creative development, Jon McClure is currently embarking on a new challenge as he makes the trip from Sheffield to twin town Kitwe in Zambia.

As we get to higher degrees of warming, the danger of feedback loops or unexpected events occurring becomes greater. The band shared the title of their seventh studio album ‘Heatwave In The Cold North’ along with the artwork and tracklisting.
