LIFE Share Details Of their new LP North East Coastal Town

UK band LIFE have announced details of their new full-length North East Coastal Town, the album will drop on June 10th, 2022 via the Liquid Label. Along with the news, the band have shared “Big Moon Lake,” along with its accompanying video.

“Big Moon Lake” is accompanied by a video that is set around the band’s studio on the river Humber. Directed by friend Luke Hallett the video pays homage to 1980’s Top of The Pop’s and in particular references the output of fellow cult Hull band The Red Guitars.

The band comment: “We wanted Big Moon Lake to acknowledge the lyrical social commentary that was littered throughout our first two records whilst expanding the experimental and personal sound that you will hear throughout the new record.

The track is playful and teases everyday themes of missing out, numbness, drinking, smoking and eating badly and generally wanting more for yourself in life. Its resolve being that in hindsight everything is in front of you, it’s on your doorstep and in this case that’s the wondrous county of Yorkshire.”

LIFE are a band anchored by the city of Hull. It’s geography, history and community has always inspired their creativity and with this new record they pay homage to their beloved city and it’s folk.

Discussing the concept of North East Coastal Town, vocalist Mez Green comments:

“Hull and the surrounding area runs through our DNA and has shaped us, weathered us, empowered us, embraced us and made us feel accepted. North East Coastal Town is our love letter to the city. The album is an ode to kinship and relationship with its musical and lyrical spine picking out themes of love, desire, beauty, horror, chaos, pride and most importantly the sense of belonging.

It’s a reflective body of work dedicated to people and place and those that have always been there and made us feel like we belong.
Upon writing and recording this album it was important to us that this sense of belonging was also reflected in the album’s craft and therefore we used locally based studios, equipment, gear, and the community around us to establish what it means to belong in a North East Coastal Town.”
