Hull's LIFE return with their fourth album — and their most ambitious yet. Abstract Natural fuses the abstract with the organic, weaving lyrics steeped in folklore, myth, geography, place and time. Frontman Mez Green wrote across long-distance walks through the Northern landscape, turning what he saw into vivid characters and scenes: cryptic placards, phallic mountains, pikes and ridges, Mother Earth always winning. The result is a bold step forward — experimental and story-rich, yet still charged with LIFE's unmistakable dynamism. A band writing for themselves and for the community that forged them.

Released via EMI North's label partner Launchpad+, Abstract Natural follows three critically acclaimed records that earned Album of the Year nominations from BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6Music. The Indies Exclusive edition is pressed on green vinyl. Out 19th June 2026.
