Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Free entry / PWYC! Medieval chamber-prog meets indie-metal in a bizzaro mashup of seriously accomplished modern sludge liturgies. Like Horse Lords collabing with Mars Volta or Oxbow covering Hildegard von Bingen; Extra Life have stumbled upon something unclassifiably out of time FFO: Zs, Liars, Dirty Projectors, Theatre of Hate, These New Puritans, Kayo Dot, Lingua Ignota."

Extra Life was formed in 2007 as the solo/bandleader vehicle for New York City-based composer, guitarist, and vocalist, Charlie Looker. The band is an highly unusual synthesis of disparate elements, including dark pop, math/prog rock, metal, classical, and ancient liturgical music. Looker was a founding member of NY noise-chamber outfit ZS, and has been a prolific collaborator across the experimental music scene, with credits including Dirty Projectors, Xiu Xiu, John Zorn, Lingua Ignota, Tyondai Braxton, Amanda Palmer, and Mivos Quartet.
