Mother Falcon return with their third full-length Good Luck Have Fun, out August 14th on BitCandy. With this release, the Austin based indie orchestra takes a leap into the unknown, blowing up their usual way of composing and recording together in a conscious effort to push themselves into new stylistic and sonic realms. Good Luck Have Fun explores a complicated stew of regret, betrayal, yearning and nostalgia for childhood, set among some of the most ambitious music of Mother Falcon's burgeoning career. In preparation for the release, Mother Falcon has announced a NYC show with more to come this fall!
