Liverpool’s Courting announce ‘Lust For Life,’ their third album in three years, alongside new single ‘Pause At You’
Within the same year that their second album ‘New Last Name’ was released, Courting have announced the release of their third album, ‘Lust for Life, Or: ‘How To Thread The Needle And Come Out The Other Side To Tell The Story’, alongside the release of the albums first single ‘Pause At You’.
‘Pause At You‘ is a thrilling introduction to an album that so many were already excited for. It brings in a unique blend of experimental pop and indie that the band has dabbled with before and undoubtedly suits them well. Along with the album announcement and single release, the band have announced a UK 2024 headline tour, with nine shows spanning from March 15th to April 9th 2025.
This feels like an indirect statement to everybody, showing that Courting are still on the up without even needing a break. This consistency will pay off big time for the band as they’re barely letting the hype for album two die down before returning with what has been described by lead singer and guitarist Sean Murphy-O’Neill to be a “real culmination of everything we’ve done.” If this is true we are all undoubtedly in for a treat when ‘Lust For Life’ releases on March 14th 2025.
