Alex Lahey has released a new single, Unspoken History.
The track is the third and final cut, following Don't Be So Hard On Yourself and Am I Doing It Right?, to be shared from her new album, 'The Best Of Luck Club', which is due out on May 17. Lahey said:
"When I was in Nashville, I spent some time in a tiny writing room creating songs for this record. Towards the end of that time, I felt as though I was starting to exhaust my output and was starting to become complacent about what I had left to give. On one of my last days there, I was lent a guitar that was set up in a variation on open D tuning, which is something I never play in. In the process of nutting out chords and voicing in this tuning, the melody to the verses just came out. When I started putting words to it, it started off as being about one thing, but then morphed into something else, creating its own path very organically."
The song is a much more sombre offering than we're used to from the Australian singer-songwriter. With its understated guitar and piano melodies, it shows Lahey is just as effective when paring things back as when she's cranking the pop-rock up to 10.
Lahey will support her new record with shows in the UK and Ireland, Australia and North America. Check below for dates and tickets.
