audiobooks, aka David Wrench and Evangeline Ling, have shared new song "LaLaLa It's The Good Life" from their forthcoming second album Astro Tough.

"LaLaLa It's The Good Life" is the second track to be lifted from Astro Tough, following their May lead outing "The Doll".

Speaking about the new release, audiobooks say, "When we had nearly finished the album, we figured that what it needed to complete it was some fun party music. So out came the box of percussion and a tropical tequila-drenched backing track was laid down. The chorus was based on overheard conversations on South London buses. We layered loads of tracks of us shouting and cheering to create a background party noise."

Astro Tough will follow Audiobooks' 2018 debut album Now! (In A Minute).

Wrench says of the album, "The first album was a photograph of the beginnings of the project, recorded without any overall plan. Astro Tough is more scripted, but a script that still allowed for lots of improvised scenes. There was more intention behind the songs, and a lot more refining. We weren’t precious about everything being spontaneous and a first take, like on the first record, even though some of it ended up being that. We made a lot more material for this record but chose the tracks that best worked together as an album."

Ling adds, "We had much less time together than on the first record, but every time I did see David that thirst and the ability to come up with something was there. I think this record is better than the first record, and I think we’re dying to make more. We’re going to try and better it again."

LaLaLa It's The Good Life" is out now. audiobooks' Astro Tough album will arrive via Heavenly Recordings on 1 October, and is available to pre-order now.
