Liverpool-based four piece; Courting return with their sophomore album, New Last Name via Lower Third. The new album came together as a play, even though the band admits that New Last Name isn’t really a play... Whilst it IS tied together by a narrative thread – it’s actually a collection of their most contained pop songs, and strangest experiments sat side by side. New Last Name is unrestrained and chaotic, and at the same time more focused and detail-oriented than anything Courting have done before. It’s a study in contradictions, and it’s the best damn play south of the north pole. Brimming with nuance and pop culture references, the only constant is that the Liverpool gang maintains their irrepressible sense of abandon.
