Life's Hard and Then You Die

by It's Immaterial

Life's Hard and Then You Die cover art

Emanating from the rich post-punk climate of Liverpool, the group's debut full-length perfectly captures a distinctly Northern English melancholy. John Campbell's wry, spoken-word narratives are draped across warm, sophisticated synth-pop and jangling acoustic guitars, presenting deeply evocative vignettes of modern urban life.
