Alex Lahey released the last single. “Am I Doing It Right?” from her upcoming album, Best of Luck Club. The album will be out May 17th via Dead Oceans.
This upcoming album is a product of intense 12 hour songwriting sessions and exploration in the Nashville dive bar scene.
“In Nashville I was really inspired by the dive bar scene there and the idea that at these dive bars there’s no pretentious energy,” she explains. “Whether you’ve had the best day of your life or the worst day of your life, you can just sit up at the bar and turn to the person next to you – who has no idea who you are – and have a chat. And the response that you generally get at the end of the conversation is, ‘Best of luck,’ so The Best Of Luck Club is that place.”
The recording of the album happened in the Australian musician’s hometown of Melbourne. It was also co-produced by Grammy award winning producer Catherine Marks, who has worked with artists such as Local Natives and St. Vincent.
