Luke Elliot has always had a unique style which has captured the hearts of fans from a number of genres. I was excited to listen to the new music and the first thing that strikes me about this record is Elliot’s strong, commanding vocals. Though heavily effected with reverb and echo it’s still obvious to see he has a raw vocal talent. The soundscape he creates in his polished production is almost theatrical and cinematic in it’s delivery of these well written songs. titular highlight for me, alongside the title track is the ballad, ‘It Won’t Hurt Soon’ which has a nostalgic and soothing feel to it whereas ‘William Tell’ couldn’t be more different with it’s distorted guitars and sense of urgency. Elliot is playing Black Deer Festival on Friday June 16, 2023 – Sunday, June 18 and I can’t wait to see him bring the title track to life in a live setting. He is sure to be one of the highlights of the weekend.
