Produced by\u00a0Luke Smith (Foals)\u00a0and mixed by\u00a0Claudius Mittendorfer (Parquet Courts), the band hone in on a bigger and more focused sound while also channelling the lyrical content inwards. Whereas the band\u2019s debut album\u00a0&#8216;Popular Music&#8217;\u00a0was broadly political, the new album takes a more personal approach with beguilingly honest and brave lyrics that are bold in both sound and feeling, while also retaining the core DNA of their previous material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going on to speak about the album Mez says: \u201c&#8217;<em>A Picture of Good Health&#8217; is not a collage of work but rather a snapshot of time; our time and the time of those around us. It\u2019s political, but in a personal way. It\u2019s a body of work that explores and examines the band&#8217;s inner-selves through a precise period; a period that has brought pain, loneliness, blood, guts, single parenthood, depression and the need for survival and love. It is the sense and need for belonging that is the resounding end note!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mlw3ry3veu3j.i.optimole.com\/w%3Aauto\/h%3Aauto\/q%3Aauto\/http%3A\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/LIFE-APOGH_packshot1.jpg?resize=800%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"LIFE A Picture Of Good Health cover artwork\" class=\"wp-image-31494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/LIFE-APOGH_packshot1.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/LIFE-APOGH_packshot1.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/LIFE-APOGH_packshot1.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/LIFE-APOGH_packshot1.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/LIFE-APOGH_packshot1.jpg?resize=144%2C144&amp;ssl=1 144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Track listing<br><\/strong>1.
