Los Angeles’ Duo Lucky+Love have released their sophomore album Transitions, offering 10 new tracks across the spectrum of synthgaze, darkwave, and electro punk.
The band is comprised of vocalist & multi-synth-pedal-instrumentalist April Love and drummer & multi-synth instrumentalist Loren Luck.
“This is a very transformational record. Making it was an emotional journey with both heart-breaking and fun experiences because we are always in transition,” says Loren Luck.
“We’re having fun; at same time, there’s much reflection on fun moments, like dancing in clubs or going to the beach,” adds April Love, “But we transition, going deeper into the unknown. On our first debut record, there were a lot of sky and space concepts introduced. For this second album, we get downright spooky. Like my brain keeps imagining a transition into ‘rainbow body’ while I’m playing ‘Soul Alive'”
Love continues, “I play typical loud and bassy, control filter synths, and Loren has psycho beats, and our spoon bending lyrical concepts brush up against danger, and suspense like in ‘Dangerous Run Away.’ These songs are up for interpretation cause this ride is totally up to you.”
With support globally from Southern Record Distributors and Forced Exposure, the Transitions LP is out now at record stores, and can be ordered via Bandcamp.
