Lust for Life, Or: 'How To Thread The Needle And Come Out The Other Side To Tell The Story' [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Liverpool-based four-piece Courting's new album Lust for Life, Or: 'How To Thread The Needle And Come Out The Other Side To Tell The Story,' is centered around duality. The intention is to bring together everything Courting have created thus far into a succinct, direct, record. Each song on the album is 'twinned', with another, existing within the same type of world. Take for example the opening and closing bookends of the record, both featuring the same string melody but with the first serving as an orchestral introduction, and the second as a speeding dance punk track. The aim is clear as Courting balance the indie and pop songwriting of their previous records with their most experimental moments, each detail more refined than the last time.
