In April 2022, the Austin, Texas quartet released their critically acclaimed debut \u003ci\u003eBummer Year\u003c\/i\u003e. Immediately after their triumphant hometown record release show, lead guitarist Jake Ames was hit by a car crossing the street, fracturing his skull and tailbone. Thankfully, Ames made a full recovery. The traumatic accident strengthened the bond that built their electric new album ‘Lived Here For A While’. Out via Keeled Scales, it’s fearlessly direct music that captures the full-throated intensity of their galvanizing live show.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReinvigorated, Good Looks tracked \u003ci\u003eLived Here for a While\u003c\/i\u003e at Texas’ Dandy Sounds with producer\/engineer Dan Duszynski (of Loma and Cross Record) the following summer. Though Ames had to relearn some of his parts, his palpably energetic performances elevated the entire record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the LP, the band trades the Americana sound that coloured in the lines of \u003ci\u003eBummer Year\u003c\/i\u003e for clanging post-punk guitars and expansive indie rock. Lyrically, the songs on this album are healing meditations on family dysfunction, new relationships, and how a home can become unrecognizable. Lyricist Tyler Jordan’s songs explore how relationships can crumble irrevocably but also how those partnerships can be centering, hopeful, and exciting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn another horrific accident in July 2023, their tour van was rearended by a speeding car, causing their van, instruments, merch, and records, to go up in flames. Thankfully, none of the band members suffered serious injuries. This resilience is essential to Good Looks and why the songs on \u003ci\u003eLived Here For A While\u003c\/i\u003e resonate so profoundly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Keeled Scales","offers":[{"title":"Pink LP","offer_id":50425621610827,"sku":"2188611","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50425619808587,"sku":"2188610","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Lived_Here_For_a_While_90802d90_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726792074","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/lived-here-for-a-while","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
