Post Description

From the album’s opening track ‘I’ll Die A Little’ to the frankly, breath-taking ‘The Tourist’ there is the distinct sense that Luke is revelling in and fully exercising his own creative freedom, be that a sonic freedom or simply the freedom to not be bound by his trajectory thus far.

If one thing were different, nothing would be the same is an album clearly at peace with itself. The title alone alludes to finding solace in the present on account of, not in spite of, the highs AND lows of the past. Yes, this is Luke returning to his stripped back folk origins, but also not afraid to reinforce the sound scape with multiple layers of organic inspiration.

There are subtle embellishments and delicately balanced harmonies, the addition of some orchestration; violin by the staggeringly talented James Morrigan and the occasional inclusion of almost blues-inspired electric guitar which, if you allow your mind to wander, offers a meddling counter-melody to some of the gorgeous vocal tones that lace this album from one end to the other.

As you listen, there is the profound sense of gratitude. Lyrical themes that circle back around tinge every cloud with a silver lining, unafraid to confront the dark but sure to squeeze it for every ounce of light. There is reflections on spiritualism, moments of scathing sardonic wit and a persistent, deeply devotional love.
