Lahey,Alex Best Of Luck Club CD

On her sophomore LP, The Best of Luck Club, 26-year-old Melbourne,ßAustralia native Alex Lahey navigates the pangs of generational ennuißwith the pint half-full and a spot cleared on the bar stool next to her.ßSelf-doubt, burn out, break-ups, mental health, moving in with herßgirlfriend, vibrators: The Best of Luck Club showcases the universalßlanguage of Lahey's sharp songwriting, her propensity for taking theßminute details of the personal and flipping it public through anthemicßpop-punk. Lahey's 2017 debut I Love You Like a Brother encasesßLahey's knack for writing a killer hook and her acute sense of humorßdelivered via a slacker-rock package and, in a way, The Best of LuckßClub picks up where that record left off. Lahey co-produced the albumßalongside acclaimed engineer and producer Catherine Marks (LocalßNatives, Wolf Alice, Manchester Orchestra), and dives headfirst intoßa broader spectrum of both emotion and sound through polished,ßarena pop-punk in the vein of Paramore with the introspective sheenßof Alvvays or Tegan & Sara. Here, Lahey documents the highest highsßandßthe lowest lows of her life to date. After a whirlwind of globalßtouring in support of breakout debut I Love You Like a Brother, Laheyßwrote the bulk of her follow-up in Nashville during 12-hour days ofßsongwriting. There, she found the inspiration for The Best of LuckßClub'sßconcept: the dive bar scene and it's genuine energy. "Whetherßyou've had the best day of your life or the worst day of your life, youßcan just sit up at the bar and turn to the person next to you - who hasßno idea who you are - and have a chat. And the response that youßgenerallyßget at the end of the conversation is, 'Best of luck,' so TheßBest of Luck Club is that place.
