(PR) Critically acclaimed songstress Maria Taylor, who you may already know from Saddle Creek's Azure Ray, is gearing up to release her third solo album titled LADYLUCK on March 31. Teaming up with producer friends Andy LeMaster (Bright Eyes, Azure Ray and a host of Saddle Creek label mates), Mike Mogis and Lukas Burton and featuring collaborations with Michael Stipe, Nate Walcott of Bright Eyes and Mckenzie Smith of Midlake, LadyLuck showcases Taylor's ability to pull at your heart strings while proving sheΒ's not a woman down on her luck.
Already available on iTunes, "Time Lapse Lifeline" is about how fast life moves and how in a moment everything can change. Appropriately, the song is punctuated by both a driving beat and lingering, plaintive vocals The video for "Time Lapse Lifeline" features Maria alongside friends from local bands Har Mar Superstar, Whispertown 2000, Tilly and the Wall, and The Donnas and can now be viewed on her Youtube page here:
The album's second track, "Cartoons and Forever Plans" will be released on iTunes on March 17. As on previous albums, she works with Now It's Overhead's Andy LeMaster as well as new contributor, REM's Michael Stipe.
