‘Instant Comfort’ (released Feb 20th via Kanine Records) is the sound of a young band who have now traveled the world, seen what it has to offer, held it for a moment, before watching it slip through their fingers. While the group’s earliest recordings arrived buoyant on a wave of hopeful romanticism, this latest outing is more complex, mapping their journey from uncertainty to a renewed sense of self-reliance. As such, Lucid Express stand more assured than ever before. Kim Ho’s vocals and synth lines confidently sit on top of expansive interweaving guitar textures from Tsang and Sky Kung, while brothers Samuel and Wai Chan provide a driving foundation on bass and drums respectively.
