Stock Market Cinema’s debut record BAD LUCK! is a testament to the perseverance and growth of years of work and the profound joy that comes from creative collaboration. The record’s ethos is built on the love of a DIY ethic and the appreciation for all things music, as heard in a blend of each member's different approach to song writing and production. BAD LUCK! wonderfully blends the best elements of indie pop with the group's roots of classic funk and alternative rock, all while exploring the edges of just how far independent artists can take self-production.
Each song on BAD LUCK! invites the listener into a sonically enticing production and, when held under the microscope, addresses profound themes of life. In full, the album acknowledges the joy and excitement found in all the misfortune and troubles of trying to exist under the pressure of an oppressive world. The album’s lead single, “Willow Tree,” showcases the record's personality; upbeat grooves, dynamic guitars, and vocal melodies asking for listeners to sing along to and remember long after the song is over. “Worst Fears” is an arena sized anthem bringing power and energy right alongside tracks like “Catch You” and “The Movies” that bring atmosphere and space to reflect before sweeping you off your feet again.
