Extra Life is an American experimental band from Brooklyn, New York, United States. They are known for using unusual rhythms and time signatures, and for Charlie Looker's (formerly of Zs and Dirty Projectors) unique singing style, which often uses melisma and is reminiscent of medieval and Renaissance music. Other members of Extra Life also play in a number of other bands. Nick Podgurski plays drums in Yukon. Caley Monahon-Ward plays violin in Snowblink. On November 13, 2012, Extra Life officially disbanded because, "...the inner creative momentum driving the band has stalled." On July 2, 2022, Extra Life self-released Secular Works Vol. 2 featuring a lineup consisting of Charlie Looker on voice and guitars, Caley Monahon-Ward on violin and viola, Toby Driver of Kayo Dot on electric bass and Gil Chevigné on drums and percussion.
