Life

LIFE are an alternative band from Hull: a creative, tightly connected four-piece who remain proudly independent and driven by a strong DIY ethos rooted in community. ABSTRACT / NATURAL their fourth album-builds on this foundation. As its title suggests, the record fuses the abstract with the organic, weaving lyrics steeped in folklore, myth, geography, place and time. These elements converge into universal themes of escapism and journey, creating a vivid world in which the band broaden their creative lens. The result is a bold step forward, experimental and story-rich yet still charged with LIFE’s unmistakable dynamism. The album captures a band writing for themselves and for the community that forged them. Community remains at the core of LIFE’s identity. Their DIY ethos is not an aesthetic but a guiding principle. Over the years, they’ve built their own Hull studio where they wrote and recorded their recent albums. The space now serves as a creative hub for emerging Northern artists beginning their own musical journeys. LIFE are also ambassadors for Hull’s legendary Adelphi Club and are patrons of Independent Venue Week.
