Not Pop Not Indie Shambhala 2018 Thread

After loving so much of the first two Lucky Soul albums (and wishing I'd nominated The Great Unwanted for the 00s poll), I discovered that they released a third in 2017 called Hard Lines, and it's got a totally different and I think Shambhala-worthy sound totally unlike their "miserablist ersatz Motown" vibe from before, instead embracing disco, pop and, er, soul. I always thought they should have been huge and I can't imagine this sharp turn away from the twee-ish aesthetic suited their fans all that well, but there are some really great songs on here and the huge sonic shift is convincing and laudable. I hope they stick around.
