Bum Hour is about not being at ease on your own. Bum Hour is \u2018that\u2019 pattern and routine broken. It\u2019s the need to live again in that moment as you watch the bars buzz from your lone-parent window. Your only comfort, your saviour, your little boy in his bedroom. You find yourself scrolling through your phone an act of self-harm and torture. Your mates are out &#8211; you lie down and sleep.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Bum Hour<\/em> is the third single lifted from LIFE\u2019s new album. Produced by Luke Smith (Foals) and mixed by Claudius Mittendorfer (Parquet Courts), the band home in on a bigger and more focused sound whilst also channelling the lyrical content inwards. Whereas the band\u2019s debut album \u2018Popular Music\u2019 was broadly political, the new album takes a more personal approach with beguilingly honest and brave lyrics that are bold in both sound and feeling, whilst 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<em>A Picture of Good Health 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<p>Alongside the new video the band have also announced the supports for the UK arm of their forthcoming EU\/UK\/IRE headline tour dates. The band will be supported Faux Pas, Night Flowers, Italia90, Fiende Fatale and local rising Hull band New Meds across various dates \u2013 see full details below\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The band recently embarked on a sold out two-week European tour as main support for IDLES as well as playing one of three sold-out London shows at the Electric Ballroom and have played packed out sets at various festivals throughout the year including: Glastonbury, The Great Escape, Liverpool Sound City, Pukkelpop, Best Kept Secret, Rock For People, Pahoda, Latitude and more.
