Life – Hollow Thing (Afghan Moon / [PIAS])
Life - Hollow Thing
Release Date: Out Now
Hull’s Life have been bashing
their collective head against society for a while now and I think the message
might be about to get through. The band’s new single ‘Hollow Thing’ is as
direct as peers Idles or Fontaines D.C. but with a snarl that is somewhere
between Mark E. Smith and Iggy Pop which is a rare and refined space to occupy.
This is the raw, unpolished sound of a band who don’t want to spend too long congratulating
themselves over a well-played riff or clever lyric, they’d rather keep moving
and leave the posers in their wake. “I look so good in black, I always do” they
sing with dead eyes that will leave Love Island devotees scratching their brain
cells together with confusion and no small amount of fear which is just the way
it should be, no?
