Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs have shared a new single, Glib Tongued.

Offering crushing downtuned guitars, the track features a verse from Brooklyn rapper, and one half of Run The Jewels, El-P and serves as the latest preview of the Newcastle band's new album, 'Death Hilarious', due out on April 4 via Rocket Recordings (and Missing Piece Records in North America).

"My lyrics reflect on how fondness of the past and senses of nostalgia can affect and influence the present, and especially in a political sense, not for the better. This notion of working towards 'getting things back to how they used to be,’ feels very backwards. The ‘good old days’ never existed," explained frontman Matt Baty. "Having El-P collaborate with us on this track was absolutely mind blowing. Word class lyricist. No smoke and mirrors, sees and tells it exactly the way it is."

Bassist John-Michael Hedley added: "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."

The five-piece previously teased the follow-up to 2023's 'Land Of Sleeper' with the singles Stitches and Detroit.

They'll support the LP with a previously scheduled UK and European tour in the spring, which includes three dates in Newcastle, billed as the Hometown Weekender.

They've also announced new North American dates that are scheduled between June 18 and August 27. Tickets for those shows go on general sale at 10am local time on Friday (March 21).
