Quiet Luke Releases New Video
It's been a year and a half since I saw Quiet Luke do a show at Bushwick's Alphaville. When I first heard him on line, I was drawn in by the instrumentals. But after listening to a few more tracks I realized that I've probably never heard any other singer who uses such a wide vocal range through most of his work. It was especially evident in "The Shortest Distance" which I wrote about in a previous post.
That same range is evident in his new video, "Something to Lose". When Quiet Luke released this video just a couple weeks ago (August 13), I was interested to know more, so I asked him to tell us about the video's background. He gave us the story :::
The video was heavily influenced by David Lynch’s work as well as classic American stories like Grease and West Side Story.
There’s an odd decade lineage running through it
50s —> 70s —> 90s
50s —> 70s —> 90s
and through all my work if you look closely
We were trying to access the past in a way that’s futuristic
This song has a few different moods. The piece starts off with an uncharacteristically slow beat for the artist. But around 2:20 to 2:32 on the clock, the tempo and feel of the song start to change.
So here is the new video from Quiet Luke: "Something to Lose" :::
Quiet Luke writes in a variety of styles and vibes which you can hear on his Soundcloud page. You can also check out this and some other videos On YouTube. And, while he doesn't have any shows coming up soon, here is the link to his Facebook page where you'll be able to watch his calendar and see what he's doing ::: Quiet Luke on Facebook (CLICK HERE).
And I've gotta again mention "The Shortest Distance". Still like that track.
