The Liverpool band COURTING – made up of Murphy-O’Neill, Sean Thomas, Joshua Cope, and Connor McCann – reached a unique proposition in recent years. Over three albums and one EP in just three years, they have shown they can do unashamed indie bangers with as much flair as they can pull off jittery hyperpop or innovative electronic rock. “It's equally gratifying to write something that is as big and stupid as it is to write something really weird,” says Murphy-O’Neill. “As a band we exist in those two separate worlds at the same time.”

Encompassing, as well as delivering, such distinct sonic worlds is one of the things that has made the band such an arresting outfit. For 2024’s New Last Name, the band went big and theatrical, overloading on style, themes and ideas, by turning the album into an ostensible play. So this time they wanted a smaller approach. “I was bored of overthinking that kind of stuff,” says Murphy-O’Neill. “I just wanted to make something immediate. There's no shit around it. It is what it is. Something more initiative focused.”

However, as is always the case with Courting, a great deal of thought has gone into this record despite its immediacy and direct hit approach. In many ways, it’s a record that came to Murphy-O’Neill as a complete package in his head and then it was just a case of piecing it together. “We had the title and the artwork idea before we had the songs,” he says. “But I knew what all the songs should be called, how many songs there should be, how they should be structured, and then I just made songs that fit into that. I don't really know how to write a song for an album that doesn't serve a purpose.”

Lust for Life, Or: ‘How To Thread The Needle And Come Out The Other Side To Tell The Story’ is an album full of dualities, contrasts and contradictions. It contains some of the most straight-up pop music the band have ever made, but it’s also arguably their most experimental work to date. It is fun and silly, peppered with in-jokes, references, and easter eggs, but it is detailed, deeply considered, and masterfully produced and mixed. “It's meant to feel very contradictory and confusing but it’s also fully realised,” Murphy-O’Neill says. “It’s a real culmination of things. ”

The album title may be a sprawling mouthful but it belies its contents, with this containing just eight perfectly considered and pristinely executed songs. “I’ve always wanted a big, ridiculous title,” says Murphy-O’Neill. “I love albums that have a very self-important vibe. Lust for Life is such an overused title but it's a great one. It could be referencing so many things, from Iggy Pop to Lana Del Ray and maybe that's kind of its whole schtick – it’s as equally as influenced by 70s proto-punk as it is modern pop. It just all melts together. Everything we do is like a collage. We just take all the things we like and blend them together.”
