An album of vices for those who think they can outrun them, Los Angeles intersectional, genre-bending project Lucky Horse Red today releases their self-titled debut record. Fronted by the endearingly enigmatic Bunny Gaubert, who was previously shot for Playboy, the unique depths of her voice crackle across the lucky 13 tracks. Her tone feels both far away and like something echoing inside of you; simultaneously drunk and stone-cold sober as her writing freely flows like anarchic poetry.
A patchwork of LA DIY royalty, the band is rounded out by Keilah Nina; the former bassist of cult-followed band The Aquadolls, Mark Martino of Babe Ruthless on guitar, multi-instrumentalist and husband Laine Gaubert, steel player Colin Croom of Twin Peaks and MJ Lenderman’s touring band, punk guitarist Jake Melendez of Thee Azmatics, and drummer Mika Rabina who is also the leading lady of Siam Jem.
Lucky Horse Red blends psych, rock ‘n’ roll, indie, Americana roots, folk, jazz and punk. Recorded at Joshua Tree Recording Studio, the dark, folky trip hazily yearns for both excess and innocence. The band’s debut LP tackles love, cheating, addiction, sex and sexuality, all under the scorching sun of the wild, wild West.

Bunny Gaubert shared, “Our self-titled record is a storytelling project where it’s not a disjointed journey despite the rapid genre fluctuations. It’s the tale of the rush of all things bad, body and soul. Laughing and looking back during a car chase that won’t end well, the muscle fatigue of guilt in a 24-hour diner, the high of spinnin’ round down and out on amphetamines in the deep desert, it’s a telephone booth with no service, it’s a lost cause, its pursuit of pleasure and violence, it’s trouble and restlessness, it’s a beautiful town drunk, it’s baritone belly laugh echoing in empty dives. It’s noise, jazz, Americana roots, it's angry, it's lying, it’s a sober truth. Natural born killers up all night getting down with God.”
