Words: Sam Geary
Melbourne singer-songwriter Alex Lahey has unveiled another track from her incoming album, ‘The Best of Luck Club’, out on May 17 via Dead Oceans.
After asking 'Am I Doing It Right?' last month, she now shares the moving ‘Unspoken History’.
"When I was in Nashville, I spent some time in a tiny writing room creating songs for this record,” she says. “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."
