Uma verdadeira história de amor envolvendo a vida real e a música aconteceu com o casal April e Loren, quando se conheceram em um bar em Los Angeles e o cúpido os atacou, uma flechada certeira os unindo no amor e na música, surgindo assim o Lucky+Love.
O duo passeia por terrenos eletronicamente sonhadores, conduzindo por synths dançantes e pela apaixonante e sexy voz April. Esse mix deu origem a preciosidades como "Sexy", "Venus", "Legal Love" e principalmente a espetacular "Digging in The Earth", que remete ao Curve, Heaven 17 e outros.
Música dançante, cerebral com altas doses de sensualidade.

Q. How do you feel playing live?
I feel great!
Q. How do you describe Lucky+Love sounds?
We give ode to the moog.
Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs ?
For our songs our method was to record while playing the song live. We then go and edit punching in here and there, self produced. We try to keep it a little loose and rough because we are more impromptu and creative in the moment.
We recorded mostly at the recording studio called The Cave in Eagle Rock with Josiah, California, and did a few little sessions at Compny with Be Hussey, in Burbank California and initially recorded Taureon at our home studio with engineer Morgan Starry. Josiah engineered and mixed 5 tracks and Be mixed 3 tracks, mastered everything for digital and then we got the whole record mastered with Kevin Gray for vinyl (he mastered our favorite record Blade Runner sound track).
For our next record we are again recording at our home studio in Echo Park and working with Be Hussey at Compny to mix our tracks down. We've been recording without the use of a laptop or desk top computer, and are using our mixer as our recording device. We'll record everything live and then bring the device in to the studio for Be to mix down.
Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
We love LA bands like Intimatchine, a Million Machines, Light FM, Panthar, Cellars, Echolust, Nkriot, L.A. Drones, Sexy Suicide from Poland, Force Publique, and The Secret Light from Portland, Night Nail from (LA/Germany)
Q: Which band would you love to make a cover version of?
The Softies and The Cocteau Twins
Q: What are your plans for the future?
We are working on our second album and are saving up to go on tour again.
Q: Any parting words?
