Total Life Forever is the second album from the skronky Oxford post-punk band. Recorded in Gothenburg, Sweden with Clor's Luke Smith producing and mixed by Alan Moulder.
In 2008, the Oxford quintet rose to prominence - from the early days playing house parties, to selling-out incendiary tours across the UK and the world, stand-out TV performances, and exhilarating festival appearances. Their debut album Antidotes entered the UK charts at number 3, achieved gold status, and has attracted devoted fans across the globe.
Total Life Forever is a multi-storey pop album with oceans of depth. It opens with an immediate jewel "Blue Blood" - a captivating and explosive anthem. Following that, funk starlet and forthcoming single "Miami", a track underpinned by the road bumping bass pumping along like Sly and the Family Stone and Prince.
Black Gold envelops out like an origami dove, slow burner "After Glow" erupts like Mars Volta playing the crust of Mount Fuji and "2 Trees" pays homage to their defunct pals Youth Movies, or Radiohead.
