Hull punks LIFE share new single ‘Hollow Thing’, detail upcoming album ‘A Picture Of Good Health’

The four-piece have been on the road with IDLES

Punk outfit LIFE have shared their new single ‘Hollow Thing’ along with details of their upcoming album, ‘A Picture Of Good Health’.

The Hull band recently supported IDLES on tour and are set to make an appearance at Glastonbury later this month. Ahead of the Worthy Farm show, they’ve announced that their new record will arrive on September 20.

Titled ‘A Picture Of Good Health’, the LP was produced by Luke Smith (Foals, ‘Total Life Forever’) and also features the previously-released song ‘Moral Fibre‘.

Earlier today, LIFE offered another glimpse of the record in the form of ‘Hollow Thing’. ‘’I look much better than you, I love much deeper too,’’ sings frontman Mez Green over the snarling sub-three-minute cut.

“‘Hollow Thing’ is about tackling isolation and fixing yourself,” Green explained. “It’s about letting go of something in your life, something that’s passed.” He added that the single also reflects “moving on and overcoming hurt, taking the hits but getting through it.”

Speaking of the 13-track album, which features the songs ‘Half Pint Fatherhood’ and ‘Grown Up’, Green said: “‘A Picture of Good Health’ is not a collage of work but rather a snapshot of time; our time and the time of those around us.

“It’s political, but in a personal way. It’s a body of work that explores and examines the band’s inner-selves through a precise period; a period that has brought pain, loneliness, blood, guts, single parenthood, depression and the need for survival and love. It is the sense and need for belonging that is the resounding end note!”

The tracklist for ‘A Picture Of Good Health’ is as follows:

1. Good Health
2. Moral Fibre
3. Bum Hour
4. Hollow Thing
5. Excites Me
6. Never Love Again
7. Half Pint Fatherhood
8. Grown Up
