We’re pretty thrilled to announce that Brooklyn’s experimental art-rockers, Extra Life, will be performing for us, in conjunction with Pink Mist, on May 30 at the Old Blue Last.
The New York group is fronted by guitarist/vocalist Charlie Looker, who has played with ZS, Mick Barr, was a member of Dirty Projectors.
The band’s two first albums (Secular Works and Made Flesh) received wide critical acclaim, landing them on countless end of year Best Of-lists. These were accompanied by split singles with Parenthetical Girls, Nat Baldwin and Larkin Grimm, and remixes by artists including Xiu Xiu, Justin Broadrick and Tyondai Braxton.
The band are soon to release their third album, Dream Seeds, which builds on the avant-garde rock and enthralling post-punk sound of the first two offerings, but sees a shift in terms of a musical level. Dream Seeds is set to be EL’s most clearly define concept album. With seven songs dealing with themes for dreams and children, the band moves away from the morbid, dark lyrics of their former offerings; instead purveying lyrical focus centred around innocence and meaning.
We look forward to welcoming them on to the SNH stage. More details on tickets and supports to follow – in the meantime, have a listen:
