Willie J Healey has announced that he will be releasing a new album called ‘Twin Heavy’.
Due for release on August 7, the singer-songwriter accompanied the news with new track ‘True Stereo’, which he says “came from a good place”.
“I wrote it while trying out my friend Casper’s baritone guitar,” he explained in a press release. “I was like, ‘damn this sounds funky!’ I then transferred that tuning to a regular six string, which gave it a really warped sludgy sound. That baritone inspired the whole idea.”

Following the singles ‘Why You Gotta Do It’ and ‘Songs For Joanna’, ‘True Stereo’ is the third song to preview Healey’s new album.
‘Twin Heavy’ was recorded alongside his ‘Hello Good Morning’ EP, “during an intense nine-day session with producer/drummer Loren Humphrey (The Last Shadow Puppets, Florence + The Machine, Tame Impala and Lana Del Rey) at Zoo Studios in Eastbourne,” according to a press release.
