Coming soon
Courting announce third album ‘Lust for Life, Or: ‘How To Thread The Needle And Come Out The Other Side To Tell The Story’
They’ve also shared a new single and confirmed a run of 2025 tour dates.

Liverpool quartet Courting are back with the news that their third album - the succinctly titled ‘Lust for Life, Or: ‘How To Thread The Needle And Come Out The Other Side To Tell The Story’ - will arrive on 14th March 2024 via Lower Third.
The record stands to be their third LP in as many years, following their 2022 debut ‘Guitar Music’ and second outing ‘New Last Name’ (which only came out in January this year). At odds with the theatricality of ‘New Last Name’, this next offering promises almost the exact opposite - as vocalist Sean Murphy-O’Neill puts it: “We wanted to keep everything incredibly direct - to hit everyone in the face and leave.”
By way of introduction, the band have shared ‘Lust for Life…”s lead single ‘Pause at You’, a track they describe as “a culmination of everything we’ve been working on over the last few years - an observation on night time paranoia mixed about with night out ecstasy. Light outing, floor filling, tie undressing, rock.”
Check out the visualiser for ‘Pause at You’ below.
What’s more, Courting will also be hitting the road again in Spring 2025 to bring ‘Lust for Life…’ to a stage near you. Tickets go on sale tomorrow (Friday 22nd November) at 10am; catch them on the following dates:
