It’s Antony wondering: “What are the consequences of luck?” It’s also him turning the lens onto the music industry itself – its imbalances and gatekeeping which often leaves young, working class musicians on the outside looking in. But at the same time it’s a genuine celebration of fortune: of pinching himself to be travelling the world, and doing what he loves. “Writing music is such a powerful thing,” Antony says. “It’s a shortcut to get to know somebody.”
