37 days to go! The first notes were laid down in 2024, just before the recording session for Lunch with the Lucky Aces. Not that you can tell. Or that it means anything. It’s just technically true.

THIS WAS 1981:Britain once again ruled the waves. Not with cannons, but with a tactical skirt-rip—Nelson would have been proud.

39 days to go! Wunderbar is the first Lucy Aces song to employ multiple time signatures, shifting between 4/4 and 3/4. Make of that what you will, people. What you will.

THIS WAS 1981: A divided Britain. For teenage boys, identity hung on a bit of Blu Tack. You were either a Randi Oakes man or a Bruce Lee man. It was hormones or high kicks.
