    A very nice, smooth listen. Nothing quite tops the joy of "In Your Car" but the sounds are precise and engaging throughout. Great background/reading music

    This Album feels like a real emotional roller coaster during my first listen. "Metal Bird" starts the album out pretty energetic and fun along with the next few songs. Such as, "Chiba Nights" which is a really fun and a great tune to dance to! Then it starts to change once you get to "Song For a Dead Friend". A feeling of heavy weight starts to fill up the album and the weight seems to getThis Album feels like a real emotional roller coaster during my first listen. "Metal Bird" starts the album out pretty energetic and fun along with the next few songs. Such as, "Chiba Nights" which is a really fun and a great tune to dance to! Then it starts to change once you get to "Song For a Dead Friend". A feeling of heavy weight starts to fill up the album and the weight seems to get heavier as the album goes on until the album ends with "Your Good Times are Just Beginning" which definitely lifts up the mood of the album, but not to where the heightened feeling was at the start. Overall a really awesome album! I gave it an 8/10 because their we're some songs I felt to repetitive or the structure felt off to me.… Expand

    It’s an album that feels reflective but forward-thinking, observing a time and space but interpreting it in a way that all can appreciate.

    This one feels more grounded, less frantic and, despite that constant pulsing movement, more at home. [#361, p.109]

    2013's Half Of Where You Live was largely built around recordings made while traveling the world, including Japan, so what's unique about Good Luck is how it sounds less like a specific place than a flurry of memories made there.
