Release of The Tubs album ‘Hard Life’

Overview

London-based indie rock quartet The Tubs has released their third studio album, titled ‘Hard Life’, marking their first release with Merge Records.

The twelve-track album represents a musical evolution for the band, blending their established jangly indie sound with synth-pop, folk, and punk influences. The record features new arrangements, including the addition of violinist Chris Haigh.

Lyrically, songwriter Owen Williams moves toward character-driven narratives and internal dialogue. The songwriting explores a tension between self-pity and resilience, utilizing vignettes to portray everyday degradation through humor and irony.
