The Nukes launched Lucky Ones in 2014. This second studio album by the original trio, with its unique Indie-Folk style and quirky country twists, has proved to be a very popular album.

REVIEW:

“The sounds they tease out of their instruments belie the fact that only three players and three voices have created this full, lush album. Combining the textures of their specialised ukuleles with folk songwriting idioms (and a hint of the blues on the quirky, layered Worms), ‘Lucky Ones’ is packed with catchy songs that are far and away beyond what many other similar groups are doing.

Some even hint at pop sensibilities – the hook-filled title track has a Bo Diddley-esque riff – the lightness of the instrument contrasting nicely with the dark lyrical subject matter. A highlight of the entire album is the vocal work – the trio’s harmonies are deft, weaving around each other to create a smooth, at times meditative wall of sound. The Nukes have delivered an album that surprises and delights at once.”
