Liverpool four-piece Courting return with their much anticipated debut album, ‘Guitar Music’.
The new album comes on the heels of Courting’s 2021 debut EP ‘Grand National’, which saw them earn plaudits across a wide array of media for their boisterous whip smart lyrics and angular instrumentation. The release saw them land two singles on the BBC Radio 6 Playlist (including an A list) as well as coverage in multiple End Of Year lists, including NME 100, Dork Hype List 2022, Daily Star Ones To Watch 2021 and DIY Hello, among others.
Whilst the album follows closely on the back of the EP, the new material sees the band making a marked step in a new direction, exploring more dynamically expressive songwriting than ever before.
Digisleeve CD with a 12-page lyric booklet. Black vinyl with a 12-page lyric booklet including extra photos. “Keep heading straight towards the chaos, please!” – Dork (five stars)
“Thrilling guitar music of the new, driven home in truly chaotic fashion” – NME
“Set to be the next big thing” – DIY
“A relentlessly off piste indie belter” – Clash
“Some of their most ambitious writing” – FLOOD
“Witty writing that takes itself seriously without being pretentious” – London Evening Standard
