– TOUR THE UK THIS FEBRUARY FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2007
– NEW ALBUM ‘EVERYBODY’S COMING DOWN’ OUT NOW ON SADDLE CREEK

The Good Life, featuring Cursive’s Tim Kasher, return to the UK this winter for the first time since 2007. The trip follows the release of their new album, ‘Everybody’s Coming Down’, which was released via Saddle Creek last August.

Call it a soundtrack to Man’s 21st century existential angst, the album poses cosmic queries, contemplates regrets, questions self-worth, and examines the possibility of living in the moment, when memories are all that we truly take with us. And in some ways, that’s the sweet spot front man and lyricist Tim Kasher inhabits: trying to make sense of this world of ours, and how and why we navigate it the way we do.

Kasher began writing songs for a new album in October 2013, and the quartet – balancing their busy lives and multiple projects – reconvened from July to December 2014 to finish writing what became Everybody’s Coming Down. With the help of Ben Brodin in Omaha’s ARC Studios, The Good Life started recording last January and finished the album in their respective homes. The band then turned to John Congleton (St. Vincent, Baroness, Angel Olsen, Wye Oak) to mix the album at his Elmwood Recording in Dallas, TX, looking to his experienced hand and uninhibited style to maintain and further realize the album’s untempered, vital sound.

Having toured the record extensively across the States during the second half of last year, they now prepare to bring their new songs to this side of the Atlantic.
