Setting the tone with strummed guitar and immersive, enigmatic strings, we are already hypnotized by Crash World‘s latest single, Lucky One as they open the song with the introspective and narrative-driven lyrics, “Hotel Isolation, is where they send your mail, hiding out like a criminal, with dogs on your trail. You’ve been a passenger, taken a free ride, gettin’ by on good looks, think the rules don’t apply, when all of your charm has gone, and beauty fades away, how will they remember you?”

With hard-hitting philosophies and assertive lyricism, Vancouver’s Crash World have created “a love letter to the past and an ode to tomorrow”.

The rising duo consists of two voices and six strings(!), performed cohesively by the talented Glen MacLeod and Graham MacDonald.

Lyrical highlights include the profound “They’ll say there goes the lucky one, you had everything”, followed by the existential “You lost it all, when you took the fall, now who’s the lucky one?”

The soundscape of Lucky One is a hybrid of alt-country and folk rock, which fuses “the poetic whimsy of the ‘60s and the alluring boldness of the ’70s, with a refreshing contemporary flare.”

Crash World are set to release their debut album, So The Story Goes on June 3rd, and they just premiered a video for Lucky One!

Filmed in Vancouver by Marts Productions, we experience epic cinematography and a mesmerizing performance from the duo, told from a “what might be” rather than a “what has been” perspective.

We have added Lucky One to our New Music Spotlight playlist and continue streaming the wider discography of Crash World, including Ritual and Radio!
