"“Venus” blasts off upon animated electronics which keep things keen during an energetic harmony. The percussion remains pressing throughout the verse as the synths have an intense impact. It’s more dire and determined than the above endeavour, featuring vocals that echo enthusiastically across the air. This all amounts to another innocuous and avid offering." -Dave Simpson

LUCKYandLOVE is an American music duo originally from Silverlake, California, formed in 2014 and consisting of Loren Luck (drums, synths) and April Love (vocals, keyboards, guitar). The band name was inspired by the called The Good Luck bar, where the two met in 2006.  Several mai tai's later, Loren started a music label, and played drums for April's original band, later two rented out a warehouse in DTLA, built a personal skate ramp, screen printed glow in the dark wedding posters and launched www.luckyandlove.com. Graphic designers by day, they decided to throw out ball and chain laptops forever and just play some dirty, lo-fi electronica.

The band defines their music as electro rock, dream pop, electronica and synth gaze, and others have described their sound as "electrowave, indie-tronica". According to Loren, their music has "lots of LFO, riveting arpeggiations, simutaneous solos via spacey square waves, with April's smokey vocals.  

April and Loren were inspired by artists including: Cocteau Twins, New Order, LadyTron, LeTigre, OMD, Depeche Mode, Phantogram, Washed Out, Tycho and PJ Harvey.

Their self titled debut LP was written when they moved next to a noisy construction site in Glendale California, recorded at Eagle Rock's Cave Studio with Josiah Mazzaschi (Light Fm), sessions with sound editor Morgen Stary, Comp-ny studio with Grammy winner Be Hussey (Guides) and mastered by Kevin Gray (engineer of Vangelis's Blade Runner's 2013 reissue).

Their 8 song vinyl debut record got picked up to be distributed globally with Southern Record Distributors and will be available in a record store near you on Friday, June 30th, 2017  

They currently write and record in their music studio in Echo Park, Ca. The band has released several singles (Sexy in 2015, You'll Never Know in 2015, and Venus in 2016) and their self titled LP on vinyl and is scheduled to record tracks with producer John Fryer (Nine Inch Nails, Cocteau Twins, His Name is Alive) dropping more singles later in 2017.

"Impulsive electro bliss in a similar stratosphere with Ladytron, Glass Candy or Le Tigre... This is rich intriguing synthtastic mastery" – Big Takeover Magazine
 
"Calling to mind the work of Depeche Mode and Washed Out... envelopes the listener and takes them on a sci-fi journey" – Overblown Magazine
  
"The single "Sexy" is fuckin great"  – Mark Burgess (The Chameleons)

Los Angeles-based duo LUCKYandLOVE have announced they will release their debut album ‘Lucky + Love’ on June 30. The lead single is ‘Digging in the Earth’, the video for which was directed and edited by cinemaphotographer and animator Steve Barron. 
 
These 8 electrified tracks were written when bandmates Loren Luck (drums, synths) and April Love (vocals, keyboards, guitar) were living next to a noisy construction site in Glendale, California. Here they successfully incorporate synth-heavy bass with polyphonic harmonies and crystalline vocals, propelling the music into trance-inducing territory.
 
Inspired by artists such as New Order, OMD, Depeche Mode, Washed Out, Tycho, PJ Harvey and Cocteau Twins, their sound falls beautifully into an everyman’s land between electro rock, dream pop, electronica and synth gaze. Justifiably also described as electrowave or indietronica, this music has, in the words of Loren Luck, “lots of LFO, riveting arpeggiations, simultaneous solos via spacey square waves, with April's smoky vocals”. 
 
This record is an electronic music record, but comes from a more traditional place, where OMD or Kraftwork came from – one of an unsampled, unprogrammed live recording originally at 192kHz/24-bit quality.
 
“Musically, as much attention was paid sonically to the organic moog instruments as April’s voice, and we offered the analog synths space in the songs to breathe to their true dynamic potential,” says Loren Luck.
 
This album came to light through recordings at Eagle Rock's Cave Studio with Josiah Mazzaschi (Light FM), sessions with sound editor Morgen Stary, and Comp-ny Studio with Grammy winner Be Hussey (Guides). The vinyl release was mastered by Kevin Gray, who most recently engineered the reissue of Vangelis's Blade Runner.
 
"My hope is that inviting this record into their life gives listeners some strange rose colored glasses to hear through. The lyrics touch many facets of an abstract philosophy of life – from a spark of physical chemistry between two people in a physical room (Sexy) to the intergalactic forces that spark subtle changes in our entire existence (Taureon), to the gratitude of an unobstructed blue sky (Legal Love), and disdain for a future that pulls us further away from each other (Mars),” explains April Love.
 
Originally from Silver Lake, California, the band formed in 2014, their name inspired by The Good Luck bar where the two had met in 2006. Several mai tai's later, Loren started a music label and began playing drums for April's original band. The two later rented out a warehouse in downtown Los Angeles, built a personal skate ramp, screen printed glow-in-the-dark wedding posters, and launched www.luckyandlove.com. Graphic designers by day, they decided to trade in ball-and-chain laptops forever in favor of playing dirty lo-fi electronica.
 
LUCKYandLOVE currently write and record in their music studio in Echo Park, California. The band is looking forward to recording new tracks with producer John Fryer (This Mortal Coil, Nine Inch Nails, Cocteau Twins, Love and Rockets, His Name is Alive) with plans to drop more singles later in 2017.

Slated for release on June 30, 2017 and with support globally from Southern Record Distributors, this album is being issued digitally and on vinyl, to be available from a record store near you.

"The LA duo of Loren Luck and April Love, AKA LUCKYandLOVE, are releasing their debut LP, Lucky+Love on SRD Music on June 30th. I’m hard pressed to believe that this is the duo’s first album. The quality here in no way betrays the fact that it’s their first foray into full length album territory. In fact, this stands up there with the best work of similar acts like Ladytron (or Marnie’s solo work) and the Chromatics. What separates LUCKYandLOVE from the rest of the pack is two-fold…undeniably catchy synth work and austere vocals that still manage to have a swagger (easier said than done). 

To say that I was impressed with this album would be an understatement. LUCKYandLOVE are synthpop done right…a nod to the past with a wink toward the future. The duo obviously know the strengths and weaknesses of each other and use their talents to create a near perfect blend of pop music. I can’t recommend them any higher than I have so far. Their debut album, Lucky+Love, hits June 30th and I can’t think of a single reason why you shouldn’t own it once is comes out. " - ECHO SYNTHETIC
