UK post-punk auteurs LIFE have returned with new single “Friends Without Names,” a track taken from their eventual new album due for release sometime in 2022 and their first bit of new music since before the pandemic.
The track builds upon a haunting post-punk guitar line and melodic new wave sound that feels like a throwback to the past while also looking ahead to the future. Elements of Joy Division, Ride, DIIV, and others with a shoegazy and dreamy nature that pushes it into an arena of its own.
About the track the band adds:
Friends Without Names is the anchor and blueprint for our next record. In a remote part of Eastern England, close to the river Humber, we performed this track as if we were in trance; vibrating in a constant musical crescendo. Our aim was to push ourselves and harness differing time zones while giving in to the moments of beauty, horror, love and chaos depicted by the song’s lyrics.”
