About

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.

Extra Life’s debut full-length Secular Works was released in 2008 on
Planaria Records/LOAF Recordings to critical acclaim. The band toured
the U.S. and Europe, with appearances at festivals including Primavera
Sound (Spain), Villette Sonique (France), Bad Bonn (Switzerland), and
Moers (Germany). This was followed by the sophomore album Made Flesh
(LOAF Recordings 2010), and the EP Ripped Heart (Last Things 2011),
which featured a more accessible, indie-friendly sound. More international
touring followed, which saw the band sharing bills with heavyweights
including Sonic Youth, Ariel Pink, Deerhunter, Deerhoof, Owen Pallett,
and Chelsea Wolfe.


In 2012, Extra Life’s third full-length Dream Seeds was released by
Northern Spy Records, foregrounding the band’s atmospheric, darkwave
side. U.S. and EU tours included spots at Impetus Festival (Switzerland) and
Discorporate Festival (Germany). Looker disbanded Extra Life in 2013, to
focus on his work as a classical composer, and on his industrial metal band
Psalm Zero. After a nine year hiatus, Looker reunited the band in 2022,
releasing Secular Works, Vol. 2. on his own label, Last Things, with plans to
tour extensively.

Support comes from odd pop Liverpool giants aPAtT + experimental vocalist + member of Ex Easter Island Head / The Aleph, JONATHAN HERING.
