The Heavy Hours

The Heavy Hours emerged at the beginning of the 2020s with an organic blend of alt-rock punch and thoughtful folk-driven storytelling. The Cincinnati band's Wildfire EP helped them earn a label deal in advance of their 2022 debut full-length, Gardens. An eponymous sophomore long-player appeared the following year. Taking their name from a line by Irish poet William Butler Yeats, the Heavy Hours formed in 2018, though their friendship dates back to their high school years. Inspired as much by folk music as by soaring post-rock, the band's sound is a rich amalgam of guitar-based rock led by the yearning vocals of frontman Michael Marcagi. To make their debut EP, the group headed to Upstate New York and recorded with producer Simone Felice (the Lumineers, the Avett Brothers), emerging in 2021 with Wildfire. Some early support from influential Ohioan Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys helped them expand their sound through some Nashville co-writing sessions, and after getting picked up by BMG, the Heavy Hours issued their first full-length, Gardens, in early 2022. The self-titled The Heavy Hours arrived the following year, and included the anthemic single "Don't Walk Away," which was co-written by Auerbach.
