The sophomore album from Luke Lalonde, 'The Perpetual Optimist', is available now, with the first 100 copies pressed on limited edition clear vinyl.
NOTE: 45 RPM
The album finds the singer writing more in the vein of Americana greats like John Prine, Roger Miller, and Kris Kristofferson; with nods to 60's pop of Jacques Dutronc, and the Kinks. It is a record shaped as much by Luke Lalonde's own musical upbringing as it is by the frenetic world around him. He writes with a more pointed perspective than ever, addressing the most pressing issues of our time: the escalating threat of climate change, connection in the face of manic uncertainty, and mortality. ‘The Perpetual Optimist’ is Luke Lalonde’s most mature and confident work to date.
