Courting return with a leaner, sharper sound, while solidifying their mischievous genre-blending reputation with eight meticulously crafted tracks that balance an infectious pop sensibility with intense, playful experimentation. After exploring the grand theatrical style of New Last Name, this new album marks a shift toward a stripped-back, direct approach. 'We wanted to keep everything incredibly direct - to hit everyone in the face and leave,' explains vocalist Sean Murphy-O'Neill. Yet despite its immediacy, the album retains the band's characteristic wit, loaded with hidden references, in-jokes, and musical Easter eggs that reflect a true blend of fun and sophistication. Lust for Life, Or: 'How To Thread The Needle And Come Out The Other Side To Tell The Story, is centred 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.
