About the Artist
Ahead of landing in the US to support Freak Slug, and recently announced to play at Party In The Paddock, Melbourne based artist Lucky releases new single ‘Curtains’. With crunchy guitars, wistful hooks, and a dreamy early-2000s glow, ‘Curtains’ feels like a late-night crush replayed on a burned CD.
Lucky says of the new single; “‘Curtains’ came from a long conversation I had with my producer in the studio. I was reflecting on how deeply society and culture have shaped the way I think, and even more-so how they influence the way everyone else thinks too. It’s such a fascinating part of life, and of being human, the sadness and frustration of watching people blindly caught in these societal pressures, while also finding something strangely beautiful in the fact we're all in this crazy, lonely dance together. The weirder, quirkier instrumental and melodies are something I don't always get to explore, so it felt fun to lean into that sound to complement the darker lyrics and tone of the song.”
It’s been a huge year on the road for Lucky, marked by her debut international headline shows across Europe and the UK, including two sold-out nights at London’s Third Man Records, showcases at Hamburg’s Reeperbahn Festival, plays in Manchester and Paris, and earlier in the year showcases at SXSW Austin, Texas.
Back home she’s supported G Flip, MAY-A, Old Mervs, Dear Seattle and Seahaven (US), while still managing to squeeze in slots at Yours & Owls Festival, King Street Crawl, St. Kilda Festival, and Mountain Goat Valley Crawl. Highlighted by her sold out debut Australian headline tour.
Most recently, Lucky was announced on the lineup for Party In The Paddock 2027, adding another exciting milestone to her festival resume, and capping off a standout year.
