Emerging from an intense period of grief after the loss of two close friends, the album traces questions of mortality, belief, connection and the quiet work of piecing yourself back together after loss. Despite its origins in sadness, the record leans towards renewal with what Luke calls ‘new shoots reaching up towards the sun; the hope and promise of life rising from the darkness’.
Dubbed ‘the James Taylor of the Fens’, Luke is renowned for his captivating and emotionally resonant live performances and has supported several artists such as Thea Gilmore, Mark Chadwick of the Levellers, Charlie Dore and Megson, and has appeared at Cambridge Folk Festival. His debut album, Our Blood Is Red, was released in 2022, following a debut EP in 2018 entitled Drove – both released to glowing reviews.
