Lande Hekt has announced her third solo album.
'Lucky Now' will arrive through Tapete Records on January 30, following up 2022's 'House Without A View'.
Alongside the news, the former Muncie Girls bassist and singer has shared the record's lead single, Favourite Pair Of Shoes, a dreamy indie-pop track produced by Matthew Simms in Maidstone and London. Hekt said:
"I wrote this song when I was listening to a lot of The Bats and The Chills, it probably sounds nothing like any of that Flying Nun stuff but that was what was inspiring me at the time.
"Despite the lines that lean towards despair, I think this is quite a hopeful song. It’s about rising out of a pit of hopelessness and doing something really positive.
"The song features my old friend and longtime collaborator Samuel Bedford. We first sang together when we were 16, we recorded a song together for his folk solo project, then we were in an indie rock band together when we were 21 called Selfish Son. Sam sang on my song Kitchen in 2020 and now he sings on this song and Coming Home. Each of these collaborations are 5 years apart which is tidy."

Hekt will perform at The Lexington in London on Wednesday (October 15), joined by Sassyhiya and Perfect Binding. Tickets are on sale now.
