WRONG LIFE are back with their second album, ‘I Can’t Remember Where I Live’.
When THE MURDERBURGERS split up, Wrong Life filled the void with a debut album and a handful of EPs. Impeccably structured bleak punk that perfectly captured the spirit of the 'burger legacy but took it to new and interesting places.
This development continues apace across the ten new songs presented on album number two. From the opening song “Bones Become Glass Become Bones” the tone is set. Fraser’s lyrics tell tales of loneliness, uncertainty and a life lived in the margins, all set to a musical score that combines emo and melodic punk influences without ever falling into a specific pigeonholeable sound.
All of this is complimented by the magnificent, haunted landscape of Nige Barnes’ reimagined Edinburgh that adorns the album’s sleeve. A maze of staircases that lead to nowhere, hills too exhausting to climb and a single solitary figure existing as smoke in a world it reluctantly inhabits but cannot succeed within.
The album is available now physically and digitally.
