Hekt, Lande
Lucky Now
Lande Hekt has quietly become one of the UK's best underground songwriters. On her 2021 debut full-length Going To Hell and 2022's House Without a View, she explored her queer identity, sobriety, and childhood trauma through the lens of heartfelt, conversational indie-pop, which led to spots opening for the likes of Alvvays, Throwing Muses and The Beths. Her new album Lucky Now, written and recorded with producer Matthew Simms (Wire, It Hugs Back), reflects the most mature and confident version of Lande Hekt yet. "I'm not as concerned about how I'm presenting myself," Hekt says. "I've tried to think less about how things are coming across, and just write songs that make me feel connected to myself and what I value."
