hard life announce forthcoming album, onion
hard life have announced details of new album, onion, which teased by first single, "othello", earlier this week.
Like any onion, Murray Matravers’ latest magnum opus has its layers (not to mention its fair share of ‘tears’). The album emerged after - of all things - a long haul flight: disillusioned with his work and having effectively quit music, Murray booked a spontaneous trip to Japan, wishing to fully immerse himself in the fashion, food and local culture that had fascinated him since touring four years ago. He was also, admittedly, running away from an unbroken streak of breakups (romantically, within the hard life band, and from the life once lived). Seeking solace in Tokyo, Murray met another wandering stranger, Taka, and started making music again spontaneously in Shirokane’s local studio, named onion.
onion follows 2022’s MAYBE IN ANOTHER LIFE…, as well as "othello" and last year's standlone summer single, "Tears".
onion, will be released on 18 July via Island EMI.
