Release Notes:
Greenwich based dapper six-piece Lucky Soul will
disarm you with their lush parade of Spector-tinged
pop genius. Live theyÆve a reputation for
immaculate, emotive performances focused around the
voice of the very beautiful Ali Howard which, with
its interplay of fragility and power, brings to mind
Sandie Shaw, Dusty Springfield, Mazzy StarÆs Hope
Sandoval and the RonettesÆ Veronica Bennett. Their
debut single, a limited edÆ 7ö 500 pressing released
on their own label Ruffa Lane in March 2006 made it
as æTrack of the WeekÆ in the Guardian and that was
the very first review. The second single æLips Are
UnhappyÆ, again released on Ruffa Lane as a ltd edÆ
7ö in June 2006 had fans such as the DJ Bethan at
Radio 1 claiming ôthis is number 1 for meö and
reached number 12 in the UK indie charts, was in
Rough TradeÆs Top 10 and had Phil JupitusÆ on his
BBC 6 Music show begging for an interview. Their
third release æAint Never Been CoolÆ EP (out Jan
15th 2007) again won over Radio 1 with the DJ Colin
Murray proclaiming ôThat is sure to win the Mercury
Music Prize in 2007ö ô that there is loveö and
proceeded to play it almost every day on his show
for three weeks. The NME marked Lucky Soul on their
æRadarÆ section as ones to watch in 2007 and the
Guardian devoted the back page of their Friday Film
and music section to an interview with Lucky Soul.
The debut album æThe Great UnwantedÆ is out on April
9th 2007 and to summarise, in the words of cult
music site Audiojunkies ôI love you, Lucky Soul!ö Or
perhaps The Londonist paper expressed things best in
their recent (five star) live review: ôgo make Lucky
Soul starsö.
