Little Mountain, Said the Whale's third studio album, announced itself in 2012 with "Heavy Ceiling" as its first single, a song that grew out of a lonely winter. Tyler Bancroft, who sings it, was staying at a summer camp out of season, with 24 inches of snow piled on the roof above him, and now and then a frozen chunk would break away and slam into the ground. With almost nobody else around, those rare noises frightened him.
So the song became a back-and-forth between roof and ground, an argument the roof is doomed to lose once the weight gets too much. Tom Dobrzanski produced it with the band, and Jack Joseph Puig handled the mix.
