Jody and Luther began writing songs together in 2013 and performing\u00a0them whenever possible, soon taking their name from the opening line\u00a0of Shakespeare Sonnet 41. In 2015, underground SoCal sensation Burger\u00a0Records released ‘Lucky Guy’ as a 7\u201d single . There was an outpouring
\nof support for the new song, which gave Jody and Luther the confidence\u00a0to move forward with a full-length LP.<\/p>\n

Those Pretty Wrongs\u2019 self-titled debut album was released on\u00a0Ardent\/Burger in 2016 to instant raves from critics and fans alike.\u00a0Jody was way out in front on this release \u2013 really for the first time\u00a0ever \u2013 taking all lead vocals and co-writing all of the songs with\u00a0Luther. The duo toured the North America, UK, Australia and Europe and\u00a0the reception around the world gave them the confidence to keep\u00a0pushing with the project. Ultimately this goodwill led Jody and Luther\u00a0to start recording a follow-up record \u2013 once again at Ardent, and once\u00a0again to 2\u201d tape using much of the original gear Big Star used on\u00a0their classic records.
\n‘Time To Fly’ b\/w ‘A Day In The Park’ kicks off 2019 as the first\u00a0single from Those Pretty Wrongs\u2019 sophomore effort and will be a 7\u201d on\u00a0the ever-supportive Burger Records. Regarding the sparkling acoustic\u00a0A-side, Jody says: “‘Time To Fly’ is about setting yourself free to
\nfind that promise for the future… not putting the anything off.\u201d\u00a0As\u00a0for the sun-dappled flipside, Jody has vivid memory of it\u2019s creation: “Luther and I played the Wood Festival in Oxfordshire, UK. The\u00a0setting was Brazier Park. Kids running around like escaped kites. We
\nstarted writing ‘A Day In The Park’ there while were staying in Ian\u00a0Fleming’s childhood home on the grounds of the park.”<\/p>\n

On the new recordings, Jody and Luther are emboldened by playing\u00a0together for the past five years, and it shows. There is a tightening\u00a0of the chemistry and a true crystallisation of the sound they have\u00a0created together: always melodic, warm and full of bittersweet
\nharmony. In turn, they\u2019re excited as hell to share this new music with\u00a0the world.<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
