Soon to be seen touring the UK and mainland Europe with Americana UK’s official greatest Americana artist of all time Lucinda Williams, L. A. Edwards also have a new single out ‘Good Luck‘ which presages the new album ‘Pie Town’ to be released July 5th 2024. Luke Edwards describes the band’s sound as “expansive, harmonious folk-rock” akin to Ryan Adams, The War On Drugs or The National. That is quite a big claim. But Luke has also stated that “Pie Town is the next step down the Heartland trail for us – it’s a collection of songs about my experiences over the past few years addressing the reticence to “grow up” and all the bulls**t that comes with that loss of innocence. Recorded here in Seattle, it reflects our most expansive and explorative instrumentation. I’m excited for this album, stay young my friends.”
Of the single he has added that “This song is a go-f*** yourself song about someone you still care about. There’s so few lyrics in it, I was hoping to let the melody do the talking and to allow space for interpretation for the listener. But for me, it’s about when you say, “Good Luck with that” as you wave goodbye and close the door.”
