The Waterboys - Good Luck, Seeker

Good Luck, Seeker is the fourteenth studio album by British-Irish folk band The Waterboys, released in August 2020 via Cooking Vinyl.

The Waterboys are a folk rock band formed in 1983 by Mike Scott. The band's membership, past and present, has been composed mainly of musicians from Scotland, Ireland and England. They have explored a number of different styles, but their music is mainly a mix of Celtic folk music with rock and roll. They dissolved in 1993 when Scott departed to pursue a solo career. They reformed in 2000, and continue to release albums and tour worldwide.

Good Luck, Seeker draws together many glistening strands of The Waterboys’ weird, wondrous journey. Its fourteen songs are populated by unrepentant freaks, soul legends, outlaw film stars, and 20th Century mystics, drawing inspiration from The Stones, Kate Bush, Sly and Kendrick as well as Mike Scott’s very own musical past.

Part song diary, part epic spoken word adventure, Good Luck, Seeker is both the final record in a recent triptych of albums and a new departure for the restless sonic magician and his merry band of fellow travellers.

This album is on 180 gram black vinyl with a printed insert, pressed in Europe via Cooking Vinyl.
