"Lust for Life: Courting's Bold New Album Released"
Introducing Courting’s Third Album: “Lust for Life Or: ‘How to Thread the Needle and Come Out the Other Side to Tell the Story’” – Out Now!
The highly-anticipated album from Liverpool’s own Courting is here, and it’s nothing short of exceptional. “Lust for Life Or” has officially dropped via Lower Third Records, marking a bold statement in the indie-rock scene. This album features eight dynamic tracks that expertly blend urgency with intricate craftsmanship, showcasing the band’s growth and ambition.
Critics are praising “Lust for Life” as potentially one of the best indie-rock albums in recent memory. Dork awarded it a full five stars, while NME commended the band’s artistry and creativity. The album’s sound traverses the pop landscape and experiments with rock’s boundaries, highlighting the group’s unique ability to balance engaging melodies with complex structures.
Courting has already released notable singles from the album, including “Pause At You,” “After You,” and “Namcy.” Each track on the album is meticulously crafted, designed to hit listeners with unfiltered immediacy. The band members aim to create a direct impact with their music, and frontman Sean Murphy-O’Neill emphasizes their desire for a raw, exhilarating experience.
Tracks such as the frenetic “Stealth Rollback” and anthemic “Eleven Sent (This Time)” showcase the band’s innovative sound, while the two-part title track delves into themes of contradiction and duality, weaving through a haunting atmosphere akin to David Bowie’s Berlin-era sound. The album is presented as a cohesive collage of influences that blend to create something fresh and audacious.
The intricate artwork mirrors the themes of duality within the album, featuring a striking black-and-white motif. Courting’s vision for this project embodies a juxtaposition of ideas, presenting a narrative that is challenging yet rewarding for listeners. This album stands at a pivotal point in their artistic journey, eagerly setting the stage for their growth and future exploration.
To support their new release, Courting will embark on their first UK tour of the year, starting tomorrow. Fans can look forward to seeing them perform live at various venues, including Leeds, Newcastle, and London, as well as several festival appearances throughout the summer.
