Alex Lahey shares “Unspoken History,” the third and final single in advance of her forthcoming album, The Best of Luck Club, out May 17th via Nicky Boy Records/Caroline Australia. Following “Am I Doing It Right?” which “continue[d] Lahey’s trend of frank, unabashed, and hook-driven storytelling” (Stereogum) and “Don’t Be So Hard On Yourself,” the album’s “tear-it-all-down pick-me-up” (SPIN) first single, “Unspoken History” presents a new side to Lahey’s songwriting, where Lahey’s melancholic words glide above the track’s shimmering, sparse arrangement.
“When I was in Nashville, I spent some time in a tiny writing room creating songs for this record,” says Lahey of the new track. “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.”
Alex is currently touring in the UK, before she returns to Australia for The Best Of Luck Club tour.
