First taste from Extra Life’s forthcoming album Dream Seeds

Brooklyn based art rockers Extra Life are set to release their third full-length album Dream Seeds.

Now a trio, Extra Life were formed in 2007 by multi-instrumentalist Charlie Looker, former member of Zs and Dirty Projectors.

Dream Seeds drops on April 10th in the US via Northern Spy and on May 7th in Europe and Japan via Africantape. Just hit the links to pre-order it.

The 7-track album deals “entirely with the twin themes of dreams and children. In a lyrical left turn away from the morbid sexuality and black humor of Made Flesh, these songs look to the subconscious in search of innocence, morality and meaning” says the label’s blurb. “According to principal songwriter and elementary school teacher Charlie Looker, the lyrics began with a consecutive series of harrowing dreams involving children, all interconnected by recurring symbols. Claiming to be in some way spiritually reborn, Looker penned the songs while mining these dreams’ buried pasts and even watching in awe as some of their prophesies unfolded in all-too-real life. Alternately brutal and tender, haunted by ghosts of both the dead and the unborn, the songs of Dream Seeds express the violent yet redemptive collision of the Real and Psychic Worlds and an archaic belief in the divine truth of dreams.”

‘Righteous Seed’ is the first single off Dream Seeds and here it is.
