LIFE by Luke Hallett
LIFE will release it on June 19th.
LIFE have returned with news of their fourth studio album ‘ABSTRACT / NATURAL’, their first since 2022’s North East Coastal Town.
Recorded at the band’s own studio in Hull, the LP’s first single The Dollywaggon traces Mez Sanders-Green’s coast-to-coast UK walk, exploring universal themes about, ‘letting go and moving on – new adventures and beginnings’:
I wrote the lyrics whilst doing a long distance walk, turning what I saw into characters and scenes. I like to think it sounds like a pulpy Northern-based western – cryptic placards, farmers hanging dead moles on chicken wire, phallic mountains, pikes and ridges, Mother Earth always winning.
“The middle-8 feels like a salute to the new. In many ways, the track became the blueprint for the whole record.”

‘ABSTRACT / NATURAL’ tracklist:
Wild Grasses
The Dollywaggon
Turning In
Thistles Kiss
