The track arrives with the announcement of debut album What You’ve Got to Lose to Win It All
Continuing to shine their slick modern appeal onto a vintage style, East London trio The Howlers and their Western-tinged brand of indie rock continue to establish themselves as a distinctive, one of a kind outfit who’s swaggering charm and charisma continues to impress listeners.
The latest single from the band is ‘Lady Luck’, a track with a troubled conception that felt destined to never see the light of day. The result is a track that is an amalgamation of ideas for songs and verses that the band have had, and that has lead to a sound that feels quintessentially The Howlers, defining their sound with its searching riffs and thoughtful allure. One of the greatest skills that the band have is creating these cinematic landscapes that add a whole other layer and atmosphere to this sound, and this track does a great job of lassoing you into their sonic world and keeping you there throughout.
“Lady Luck is one of those tracks that never really quite had a place.” The Howlers say of the track. “Adam had the main riff for years often playing it during soundcheck or rehearsals but it never had a song round it, multiple attempts to write a song around it always came out missing the mark by miles and for a long time it was this problem child, Guus would often say ‘Just leave it now’ but Adam knew there was something in it, he just couldn’t see it yet. Eventually the song as it is today came into being by chopping up multiple other songs in similar states of limbo for verses and a chorus and smashing them together, sort of like a frankenstein’s monster of a track made up of all the best bits of other songs, and now it’s one of our favourite songs to play live”
