The first taster from Heathers‘ forthcoming second album finds them in new territory. Yes, the inevitable (and probably sound decision) to expand their sound beyond guitar and voice is in full effect here. The outcome is a big-sounding track that I can see doing very well on mainstream radio and in general. Great to have them back.

Not a bad pop song, nothing much Indie or folk about it though.
Yeah fair enough. It’s indie in that it’s independent. Folk yeah not so much.
