Surfbort announced their third album, Reality Star, out March 6 via TODO Records. Reality Star is described as an exploration of hard truths and the daydreams that make them bearable. Coinciding with the LP announcement is the lead single, “Lucky,” out today. “Lucky” is equal parts snarky and sarcastic, mocking the idea of forced positivity while also embracing it as a tool for survival.
“I wrote ‘Lucky’ when I was deep in a funk. It’s my anthem to blast away the darkness,” frontwoman Dani Miller explains. “You know those nights when you’re convinced everyone hates you and you’ve totally failed at life? Yeah, this song’s my delusional pep talk that I’m adored, killing it, and on magazine covers. It’s about being your own hype-person through the lows, celebrating the highs, and loving the messy, beautiful humans around you. We’re all in this chaos together, so spread the love. Yes, that includes giving ourselves that love and reminding ourselves how lucky we are.”
