Tom Vek is set to release a brand new album on June 9th via Moshi Moshi Records.

Drawing on the modern anxiety of finding your place in a world saturated by information, Luck plunges the personal to deliver tracks that are sincere, angry and poignant. Sherman (Animals in the Jungle) – a searing comment on our state of moral ambivalence inspired by Tom Wolfeʼs novel, The Bonfire of the Vanities.

The ʻgarage rock for the pro-tools generationʼ as he puts it. Just as you want to describe Luck as the sardonic outpouring of a man articulating the disillusionment of a generation, he throws the curve ball of The Girl You Wouldnʼt Leave for any Girl – an unwieldy title that sits gloriously at odds with the rest of the album.  Consisting of one repeated sentence, a vocal and a guitar, the pared down, minimalist achievement artfully encapsulates an age-old story of love. ʻThereʼs noise everywhereʼ, Vek tells us.

Tom Vek will play a London show, Weds June 11th at XOYO, Paris Flèche D’or on Thurs June 12th and Latitude Festival.
