    [‘Everything and Nothing’] feels like the perfect, emotive closer for a band who’ve come a long way to get here, but have made easily their best album yet by simply being themselves.

    Happily, this new start feels fresh. HEAVY JELLY could be the ravishing debut from some doe-eyed newcomers with the visceral energy they’re touting this time around, except therein lies a hardened exterior.

    The highlights of Heavy Jelly are enormous; despite the despair, Soft Play’s future has never looked brighter.

    ‘HEAVY JELLY’ is wilder, faster, heavier, more frenetic, and downright hilarious that anything they’ve done together before. Both cartoonish and extreme, it’s a cycle of songs that are both heavy duty and utterly ridiculous.
