Los Angeles’ LUCKYANDLOVE present their second album ‘Transitions’. Offering 10 new tracks in this sonic neon rainbow, listeners will be immersed in a spectrum of fuzzy sunset synthgaze, blueblack neon darkwave, and tigerprint electro punk. Ahead of this, the duo previewed two singles – ‘Soul Alive’ and ‘Dangerous Runaway’.
LUCKYANDLOVE is vocalist & multi-synth-pedal-
“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.
This album follows up the debut album ‘Lucky+Love’ and video for ‘Digging in the Earth’. As with their first offering, the duo recorded ‘Transitions’ with Grammy winning engineer Be Hussey of The Comp-ny Studio, going to extremes in writing and performing live on this record, often finishing songs in one complete take.
Inspired by modern music from Chromatics, Washed Out, Tycho and Phantogram and still obsessed with UK 20th century gems from Cocteau Twins, Human League, Gary Numan, LUCKYANDLOVE’s sound dichotomy is dancing with darkwave vs. synthwave, electropunk vs. indiepop, electronica vs. dreamgaze. In their trademark sound, their Kraftwork-like analog control voltage synth layers are often reminiscent of noise pop guitars.
“We’re having fun; at same time, there’s much reflection on fun moments, like dancing in clubs or going to the beach… 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 down right spooky. Like my brain keeps imagining a transition into ‘rainbow body’ while I’m playing ‘Soul Alive'” says April Love.
“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 will be released on June 7, to be available from a record store near you. In the meantime, it can be ordered via Bandcamp.
LUCKYANDLOVE will be supporting their new album with a string of concerts, including four at various LA venues. June adventures bring them to Great Britain, where they will perform at London’s Synthwave Live Festival, co-headlining with B-Movie, before playing an array of other UK cities. More dates are expected to be announced.
