Originally from Silver Lake, California, the band formed in 2014, named for The Good Luck bar, where they met. Within the recesses of your mind, you&#8217;ll find yourself jetting around to Chicago, LA, and DC&#8230; in a pop underground, clubbing in Chinatown, basking in the south of France, moonlight trekking in a Burmese jungle or having a spiritual love connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;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,&#8221;<\/em> says&nbsp;Loren Luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This album follows up the debut album&nbsp;&#8216;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/luckyandlove.bandcamp.com\/album\/lucky-love\" target=\"_blank\">Lucky+Love<\/a>&#8216;&nbsp;and video for&nbsp;&#8216;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/x9Kyj-Emj8M\" target=\"_blank\">Digging in the Earth<\/a>&#8216;. The duo recorded &#8216;Transitions&#8217; with Grammy winning engineer&nbsp;Be Hussey&nbsp;of&nbsp;The Comp-ny Studio, going to extremes in writing and performing live on this record, often finishing songs in one complete take. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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&#8217;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. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;We&#8217;re having fun; at same time, there&#8217;s much reflection on fun moments, like dancing in clubs or going to the beach&#8230; 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 &#8216;rainbow body&#8217; while I&#8217;m playing Soul Alive&#8221;<\/em> &nbsp;says&nbsp;April Love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;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 &#8216;Dangerous Run Away&#8217;. These songs are up for interpretation cause this ride is totally up to you.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8216;Transitions&#8217; LP should be available from a record store near you.
