About Bad Health and Heatwaves

It has happened! Jacco and Less have joined forces yet again to create a new masterpiece, named Bad Health and Heatwaves. On this album, Less and Jacco leave Antarctica to find a place much hotter, closer to their homes. Discover the 12 all-new songs, including hits like ‘Premeditated Dreamcatcher’, ‘Going on a Bad Trip’, and ‘Living Out Of A Suitcase.’

Bad Health and Heatwaves marks a tumultuous chapter for Penguin Never Jump. The year leading up to the album was marked by challenges: injuries, illness, and actual heatwaves that made it hard for the band members to come together and be creative. 

Yet, despite these obstacles, Jacco and Less emerged from these difficulties, channeling their experiences into a raw and evocative album. They’ve managed to gather enough material since their first release, On Thin Ice, to put together the follow-up record. 

Tracks like ‘Anger Management’ express raw defiance against societal pressures, while ‘Bottle It Up (For Me)(Please?)’ and ‘Rubber Chicken’ address the struggles of coping with modern life’s absurdities and stresses.

The album reflects an even darker, more introspective side of the band, yet remains infused with their signature blend of earnest storytelling and ironic humor. From the vivid imagery of ‘Going on a Bad Trip’ to the introspective ‘Living Out Of A Suitcase,’ this album is a testament to the band’s ability to turn adversity into art.

The album is a powerful statement of endurance and creative resilience, proving that even in the toughest times, the Penguins can still make great music.

Penguin Never Jump offers listeners a compelling journey through personal and emotional landscapes, each song revealing new layers of meaning and insight.
