Hull four-piece return with an explosive second effort that's just as much an exercise in catharsis as it is personal reflection

LIFE’s second LP sees the Hull quartet take their game to the next level.

They’re hitting their stride just as the Brexit void looms. Accordingly, this record is indispensable.

8.0 / 10
