hard life have dropped single ‘y3llow bike’ ahead of their new album release

hard life are teasing their new album ‘onion’, set for release on 18th July via Island EMI, with new single ‘y3llow bike’.

The track follows previous singles ‘othello’ and ‘OGRE’, with the new album marking the band’s first full-length release since their recent legal battles. The record was primarily created in Tokyo, where Murray Matravers found himself working in a local studio named onion alongside a collaborator, Taka.

Speaking about the new single, Matravers explains: “the classic story of falling for a friend. There’s that constant tug-of-war between wanting to protect the friendship and dealing with the fragile ego that fears rejection.”
