Lucky Soul
Lucky Soul are an indie pop band from London with strong retro-60s pop tendencies. Yes, that sounds a lot like Belle & Sebastian or any number of their followers, but Lucky Soul are closer to fellow retro-poppers the Pipettes or Candie Payne. Lucky Soul’s arrangements are impeccable in both throwback credentials and overall enjoyability, but I have to admit that the quality of the songwriting on their album The Great Unwanted is somewhat inconsistent. I’m posting two tracks that don’t suffer from weak songwriting at all, though. “My Darling, Anything” is a rather straightforward pop song, but with a modern twist that you’ll know when you hear. “Baby I’m Broke” is my favorite song that they’ve done. It’s a country pop gem that sounds like one of Nancy Sinatra’s country songs or the under appreciated Canadian indie country pop band the Guthries.
