“To me, “I Am Human” is a sci-fi track. It’s call to arms for screen zombies to disconnect. I read Martin Heidegger’s The Question Concerning Technology in grad school and I like when he says that we shall have questions concerning technology and, in so doing, we should like to prepare a free relationship with it.” says April.
Loren adds, “I think there are a lot of people that actually hate technology, but would never have the guts to say it. Personally with this song, we are breaking the chains, going back to a simpler time of human creativity and free thinking.”
Evoking a brand new art school originality, Luckyandlove is the raw sonic experiment of Loren and April, whose live analog synth beats, Moog instrumentation and beautiful, harmonic vocals trigger an immediate download of fuzzy sunset synthgaze, blue-black neon darkwave, and tigerprint electro punk.
The duo define the title of their third album, Humaura (hu • mau • ra), as the atmosphere that emanates from the feelings of the human spirit void of technological control. This album was recorded, mixed and mastered for digital release by Grammy award-winning engineer Be Hussey (Modern English, Swervedriver, The Church, Alcest, Twin Tribes, Boy Harsher, Luna, Kim Deal) at Balboa Studio and Catwater for the digital music, and mastered for vinyl and lathe cut by Grammy-nominated engineer Nicholas Townsend (Cheap Trick, Weezer, Garbage, Dr. Dre, 2Pac, Grimes, Iron Maiden) at Townsend Mastering.
Transcending genres in a league of their own, Luckyandlove’s visceral, urgently-present dark electro-pop appeal continues to stretch through time and space. Their Lucky + Love and Transitions albums earned them a global fan following and led to US and UK tours, while their tracks “It’s a Mistake,” “Animal,” and “Summertime Frolic” featured in the indie hit Tiger Within, featuring Ed Asner‘s final film performance.
This salty-sweet duo blend raw analog synth sounds with driving punctuated percussion and punchy analog bass, complemented by enchanting lyrics that emit a range of emotions from melancholy and sorrowful glom to a state of blissful trance. Luckyandlove’s influences absorb the resonant specters of last century’s darkwave gods —Siouxsie and The Banshees, Cocteau Twins, and Bauhaus, looming large from where industrial galaxies formed as the needle hit the vinyl groove urging all Doc Martens to march to basement dance floors.
On October 11, Luckyandlove will hold their record release party at The Slipper Clutch in Downtown Los Angeles via Deathrecordzz Presents with appearances by Warsaw Pact, Amore De Paris, No Exits, and a DJ set by Echolust.
