Mar 20, 2025Every one of Lust for Life‘s eight tracks is interesting, and most are unique. Their slightly off-kilter take on guitar rock is rewarding, and the way the end of the album matches up with the beginning is very successful.
-
Mar 17, 2025Albeit diverging in duration from its predecessors at a mere eight-tracks, Lust for Life remains sufficient in scale to carry such a taste for semi-encrypted post-punk wisecracks.

Classic Rock MagazineMar 14, 2025A bit mad, but utterly compelling. [Apr 2025, p.77]

Mar 14, 2025An album that seems full of ideas and creativity. Liverpool has, of course, produced a lengthy list of bands over the last few decades. It looks like Courting can be added to that rich musical heritage as well.

Mar 14, 2025Thrilling and fully realised. .... Adding sax and strings to fill their sound works wonders. By the time they confidently sashay through the multiple-movement title track, it’s clear that this is one of those great leaps forward that bands can only take by growing together over time.

Mar 14, 2025Lust for Life is weirdly joyous and joyously weird, and it's marvelously entertaining either way; it's the band's strongest and most cohesive work yet.

Mar 14, 2025‘Lust For Life, Or: ‘How To Thread The Needle And Come Out The Other Side To Tell The Story’ is infectious, driven by passion and fun, yet built with clear intentions.

Mar 14, 2025As slippery and unpredictable as ever, this Courting record is indie music for pop fans and pop music for indie fans – there’s enough for everyone to take a bite.
