![]() “‘How Lucky’ was inspired by a walk with one of my closest friends,” McTaggart tells Atwood Magazine. “I actually wrote it the day after I wrote ‘Hot AF.’ Robert DeLong lives very close to her, so the evening after the ‘Hot AF’ session, I hit her up and stopped by her place. Tapped into her very own ephemeral nirvana, she sings, “ How many things have I missed, worried ’bout disasters that never happened? I was talking to the silence, it said, look what’s waiting for you… how lucky.” McTaggart revels in a moment of euphoria, her golden voice glowing over a bright, ethereal glaze of silken synths, driving drums, and buoyant bass. “How Lucky” is a spirited, sweetly soaring addition to this mix – one that captures Transviolet at their best, both musically and emotionally. “How Lucky” arrives at the tail end of a year-long campaign that saw the band release seven singles off their upcoming album, including the glistening anthem “Naive,” the sonically charged “Supernatural,” and the hypnotic “Hot AF,” a stunning electro-forward collaboration with Robert DeLong. A longtime favorite and one of Atwood‘s 2020 artist to watch, Transviolet are trailblazers: The Los Angeles and San Diego-based band currently comprised of Sarah McTaggart, Judah McCarthy, and Michael Panek have made an indelible imprint on the indie scene over the past decade, melding pop and alternative influences into a singular sonic identity that has carried them triumphantly through two acclaimed studio albums, a litany of national headline and support tours, performances spots at some of the world’s biggest music festivals, performances on late-night and daytime television, and so much more.

Some of those magic moments really do last a lifetime. Enchanting, immersive, and utterly inspiring, “ How Lucky” is an uplifting alt-pop ode to life’s raw beauty reminding us that the lows are worth the highs. Like so many artists before them, Transviolet have today gifted the public a song that speaks to that magic spark. Throughout history, we humans have turned to art for inspiration and guidance – to get us out of these toxic mindsets and open us up to the wonders of the world. Even writing these words, I’ve somehow managed to stress myself out. Life in this mindset is a constant, nonstop ball of stress, and it’s all too easy to fall into that unforgiving and unrelenting cycle. Instead, our energy and attention are more often dedicated to everyday minutiae – the pressing matters at hand, the needs of the now, the tasks giving us anxiety, and whatever other thoughts and unfinished business are on our minds, looming over our heads. ![]() ![]() ![]() Life is beautiful, magical, and full of wonder, but we don’t spend nearly enough time focusing on that. ![]()
