Courting

Lust for Life, Or: 'How to Thread the Needle and Come Out The...: ... Other Side to Tell the Story

£11.99

Released: 14th March 2025. '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. 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. Tracks 2 and tracks 8 interpolate the same drum and string samples but shift them into completely different beasts. The first sitting somewhere between 2010's dubstep and a noise band covering a small faces track, and the latter being a multi part, auto-tune crooning ballad with a striking saxophone solo.
