The Heavenly Bodes Share Fuzzed Out “De Groene Heuvels” Single

Green Hills is the sun-warped debut album from Cornish four-piece The Heavenly Bodes that is due out on July 3rd via Fuzz Club. Recorded on reel-to-reel in a friend’s living room between trips to the beach, it features a collection of lo-fi garage numbers that vary in feel, sometimes twisting and erratic, sometimes sedated and meandering, but all drenched in tape hiss and left out on the pebbles to dry. These are salad-days dreams of escapism melting under the summer sun, evoking the clammy rooms from which they came. Following hot off the back of lead single, Faux Pillars, The Heavenly Bodes offer us another taste of their debut full-length with new single, De Groene Heuvels. Coming in at just over two and a half minutes, De Groene Heuvels is a lo-fi fuzzed out, guitar thrashing gem that is full of bounce and strut.

“Much like the purchasing power of the Munten, ‘De Groene Heuvels’ succumbs to rapid inflation. It follows the account of a whirlwind weekend on a Dutch hillside. Leg twisting & eye twitching – ‘De Groene Heuvels’ feels like the struggle of staying upright on an uneven surface. Green Hills was lovingly recorded during the infamous Swanpool heatwave of July 2025. Live tracked into an 8 (occasionally 7) track whilst clad in straw hats and tanning oils, the album is a testament to the clearly adequate cooling systems of the Fostex R-8. Recorded and mixed by our very own Fin Wilson, resident caretaker of central Penryn. With thanks to Eggland and neighbours, Jack & co. at Fuzz Club and countless others. Please enjoy responsibly.”
