Denver, Colorado-based independent band Banshee Tree has announced the April 17th, 2026, release of their sophomore album, Bad Luck, arriving via Banshee Tree Records. Bad Luck is a collection featuring Indie Rock, Jazz, Roots and Psychedelic Pop, with a touch of avant-garde.

The band has spent nearly a decade developing their style through live performances and experimentation. Bad Luck is a testament to that development. The song “Bright Blue Light” is out now.

The song “Bright Blue Light” is reflective and optimistic, about “trying to find meaning through chaos, temptation and chance while drifting between darkness and illumination.” The bright blue light is “a symbol of hope, grace and the need for the connections the narrator is driven to find.”

Lyrically and thematically, Bad Luck explores “the relationship between humans and the natural world, tracing moments of tension, beauty, and even warning.” Throughout the album, there is “a recurring sense of choice and transformation,” and explores the ways in which moments that “feel ominous or uncertain” can become “gateways to growth.”

Banshee Tree is Thom LaFond (lead vocals/guitar), Michelle Pietrafitta (drums/vocals), Jesse Shantor (keyboards/saxophone) and Jason Bertone (bass).
