Leave Luck to Heaven is the first full-length studio album by American DJ Matthew Dear, released under his birth name. Released in late 2003, the album’s fusion of pop and minimal techno propelled Dear to international success. The album's single "Dog Days" became a bestseller for the Spectral Sound label, and a favorite of DJs like Richie Hawtin. The album is named after the rough Japanese-to-English translation of "Nintendo", a popular video game company.
