Newcastle's Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs are back with a new single and an unexpected but fantastic collaboration. "Glib Tongued" is a giant, riff heavy track that features a guest verse from El-P of Run the Jewels and Company Flow. It's a mid-tempo track that grinds it's way through four minutes of sludge. It's reminding me of Clutch meets Black Sabbath, but in a way that a rap verse makes perfect sense. It starts off with a whining feedback guitar and a killer bass line, and keeps going from there. We don't bring you a ton of heavy stuff here at If It's Too Loud..., but a song as great as "Glib Tongued" is irresistible. 

Bassist John-Michael Hedley says of the band's latest single:

"Glib Tongued was an idea I’d been sitting on for a few years. It felt like the right time to inject it into 'Death Hilarious'. Though after bringing it to the table it morphed into something bigger and better than I could have ever imagined. Securing El-P’s services for a verse blew my mind and I feel immensely proud that an idea I’d worked on during an extremely dark time in my life, has flourished into a powerful force for good. I hope."
