Better Luck Next Time is the third studio album by English band Sundara Karma, released on 27 October 2023 through Is Right Records. It was produced by Rich Turvey and preceded by the single "Friends of Mine",[1] "Baby Blue" and "Wishing Well".[2] The band will toured the UK in support of the album in November and December 2023.[3]
A press release called the album's sound a "departure" from the "electro-pop elements" present on their 2022 EP Oblivion!,[4] with DIY calling the single "Friends of Mine" a return to the "euphoric, guitar-driven sound" of the band's debut, Youth Is Only Ever Fun in Retrospect (2017).[3]
Mia Smith of DIY felt that the band's "third could well act as a rallying cry for 2010s indie kids", calling it "like a hug from a warm blanket. Albeit one that smells faintly of dark fruits cider".[5]Dork's Emma Quin described it as "an energetic release well worth listening to" and wrote that it "extends [the band's] legacy, feeling vibrant, boyish and tender" as it "reliv[es] memories of nights out, friendships and relationships".[6]
