extra life is the primary musical vehicle for charlie looker, singer, guitarist and composer, who has become one of the most intense and respected voices in the new york experimental underground.

extra life is a new york-based band led by guitarist/ vocalist/ composer charlie looker, a core member of the noise/chamber group zs and collaborator for dirty projectors, john zorn, william parker and john zorn. formed in 2007, extra life combines elements of dark romantic pop a-la bowies berlin period, aggressive math rock a-la slint, modern classical compositions and medieval vocal music, which the album title, secular works, refers to. secular works is without a doubt one of the most unique albums weve ever heard. it is challenging and rewarding, complex but melodic, intellectual but within reach. for fans of xiu xiu, dirty projectors, the dead science and sun city girls.

based out of san francisco, extra classic is a unique live band formed with a keen appreciation of vintage reggae & vintage sounds. the aesthetic, and certainly the skilled method of their production, is an ode to the art of that classic style as referenced to the term coined by the cool ruler himself. recording in their own studio, nopal recording, the band employs a taster’s choice of analog equipment and is devotedly tracked, spliced and mixed in-house direct to tape. however, as the group’s name itself implies, there is a dose of something extra and new in this swirling mixture of space echo, heavy phase, and emotive, psychedelic california-soul.
built upon the rock of an early-era dancehall swing, their first single in conjunction with brooklyn-based imprint names you can trust entitled in this life, is a perfect slice of lover’s rock gone sideways, a decidedly left-coast piece of roots and bliss driven by adrianne delanda’s lovely lead vocals and the steady, dusty echoes of the locked in players. presented in the traditional format with a version as per nyct fashion, the dub mix incorporates a soothing dose of synare beams and underwater instrumental dreams.
