Following a string of ace singles, Shelf Lives have just announced a brand-new four-track EP.

Entitled No Idea, the record is out on October 23, and it was named as such because, as Shelf Lives relatably admit, “Generally, we have no idea what we’re doing, what the point is, what’s going on at the time, what to call this EP…”

They stress that, “We don’t feel alone, though. No-one has a clue or any real control. We’ve been led to focus on finding and living an external purpose that should make us happy. We think we know what’s right for the world and what isn’t. We think we know what’s ‘cool’ and what isn’t. We think we know what harmony is and how to achieve it.

“In reality, we’re too busy with surviving the dumpster fire that is our social system to know anything, but we always have hope and silver linings to keep us laughing, and we will. No Idea is a symbolic throwing in of the towel. If no-one knows then, ‘Who cares?’ It can be seemingly intense at first but in the end, it’s liberating.”
