The song is lifted from their new album, 'More Nothing', which is due to arrive on August 25 via Partisan and follow up last year's 'For The Kids' EP.
Speaking about the track, the band's Andrea Thuesen said:
“An early version of ‘Low Life’ was written and recorded three years ago. Back then it was a trippy, hard rock kind of song that we were never really satisfied with. We all agreed it was a good song with lots of potential so we tried all kinds of different things to make it it work but none of it seemed to do the job. Even though we came close to, we didn’t really catch the essence of the song back that. I guess ‘Low Life’ was a song we had to grow into. We had to be three years older and wiser to be able to make it the song it was meant to be.
While recording demos for the album, we realised we had to take ot the hard rock elements of the song, and just let it be as honest and frail as the lyrics suggested. Suddenly it started to the make sense. In the studio we experimented with the drum sound, synthesizer, pedals we hadn’t used before and it all came together once and for all.
The lyrics of the song are about a very unhealthy relationship that a person very close to me was in, back when we were the early version of the song. It had a great impact on my life, and I had a really hard time making sense of it all, so writing about it felt like the obvious thing to do. Looking back on it now I probably wasn’t as reflective as I am today, so the anger I felt while it was going on dominates the lyrics. I’d like to think that had it happened today, I would’ve been able to explore my emotions more and be a little more sensitive and subtle about it, but then again…”
Prior to the record's release the Danish trio will join Deap Vally at their Fluffer Pit Party on August 23. They will also appear at Reading and Leeds and have lined up in-store performances at Rough Trade in Nottingham and London the same week.
The band will return to the UK in October for a headline tour, which will be followed by a European run of shows with A Place To Bury Strangers.
