Lahey, Alex Best Of Luck Club LP Vinyl

On her sophomore LP, The Best of Luck Club, 26-year-old Melbourne,áAustralia native Alex Lahey navigates the pangs of generational ennuiáwith the pint half-full and a spot cleared on the bar stool next to her.áSelf-doubt, burn out, break-ups, mental health, moving in with herágirlfriend, vibrators: The Best of Luck Club showcases the universalálanguage of Lahey's sharp songwriting, her propensity for taking theáminute details of the personal and flipping it public through anthemicápop-punk. Lahey's 2017 debut I Love You Like a Brother encasesáLahey's knack for writing a killer hook and her acute sense of humorádelivered via a slacker-rock package and, in a way, The Best of LuckáClub picks up where that record left off. Lahey co-produced the albumáalongside acclaimed engineer and producer Catherine Marks (LocaláNatives, Wolf Alice, Manchester Orchestra), and dives headfirst intoáa broader spectrum of both emotion and sound through polished,áarena pop-punk in the vein of Paramore with the introspective sheenáof Alvvays or Tegan & Sara. Here, Lahey documents the highest highsáandáthe lowest lows of her life to date. After a whirlwind of globalátouring in support of breakout debut I Love You Like a Brother, Laheyáwrote the bulk of her follow-up in Nashville during 12-hour days ofásongwriting. There, she found the inspiration for The Best of LuckáClub'sáconcept: the dive bar scene and it's genuine energy. "Whetheráyou've had the best day of your life or the worst day of your life, youácan just sit up at the bar and turn to the person next to you - who hasáno idea who you are - and have a chat. And the response that youágenerallyáget at the end of the conversation is, 'Best of luck,' so TheáBest of Luck Club is that place.
