🥀 FBR001 ~
Our very first pressing is a collaboration with label friends @vinylmoonco and we couldn't be more proud to release it...
"Heaven" by UK alt-folk singer songwriter and guitarist @lukedesciscio
"A sound at once tortured and tender, confessional and apologetic." - @varioussmallflames
~ Recorded in just 3 days, Heaven is the sound of someone in the right place at the right time.
A prolific troubadour by any measure of the term, Luke De-Sciscio’s recording career has been one studded by intense periods of rampant creativity and 2023 is one such vintage year.
Four albums flowed with the seasons but there is the sense that each of those records was just an exercise in fine tuning the muscle, such that when Heaven was ready, Luke was waiting.
Mercurial, poetic and at times, achingly tortured. Heaven drips like honey down the wall of an asbestos cave.
The 9 songs coil into a single revelatory pass, through devotional crooning in the realms of Chris Isaak, up the spirited abandon of Van Morrison and into the bliss-like pool where Jeff Buckley, Emma Ruth Rundle and Chelsea Wolfe lure Jason Molina to a watery-grave.
Pure, unfettered and fearless. Heaven is an album which will stand-out, necessarily, from the catalogue of Luke De-Sciscio and whose songs mark the trajectory of a spirit forever at the behest of the truth.
So excited for today’s episode! I’m honored to bring you @vashtibunyan ! I know I don’t do a lot of the #folk #freakfolk or whatever you like to call it. #quietmusic #singersongwriter all that stuff, but Vashti is truly an original and so badass too. She has a book out called Wayward: Just Another Life To Live and it’s a great story. In this episode we speak about that book a little, @lambchopisaband and their album OH(Ohio), and why everyone thinks she’s never going to write another song again. Please listen wherever you get your pods and share with a friend. Thank you. #vashtibunyan #wayward #lambchop #ohio #influentialalbums #essentialrecords #vinylrecords https://www.instagram.com/p/Cqu21XcuMHG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
My playing is still a bit clumsy, but I’m slowly learning how to get the tones I want out of my new mountain dulcimer. It’s such a relaxing instrument to play! (The song is “Swallow Song” by Vashti Bunyan.)
vashti bunyan You say that you'll always love me That you'll never leave me blue Don't you know that, that's all fallacy? Don't you know it's not true? You may want the love they talk about But it isn't like they say You will find that come tomorrow You won't feel this way #cristinavela #gallery #artwork #painting #artist #inspiration #art #vashtibunyan bunyan #instaart #paint #artoftheday #gallery #artwork #painting #artist #inspiration #art #creative #instaart #watercolor_art # #boyportrait #lies #dontbelieve https://www.instagram.com/p/CDgr_fDqe0t/?igshid=mxxp2bjqsje2
