Everybody has to grow up some time.The Big Wind, is a boldly textured and instantly immersive album with a noir-ish touch that is simultaneously sleek and modern at the eye of the storm. Luke was born and raised in New Jersey but is currently residing in Oslo, Norway where he has garnered favorable comparisons to roots, folk, and rock icons such as Hank Williams, Big Joe Turner, Bob Dylan, PJ Harvey, and Nick Cave. His cinematic musicality is both elegant and earthy, offering bold emotionality, poetic lyrics, haunting epic tales, and a voice that exudes a richly painted vulnerability.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Impress Records","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50526620418379,"sku":"1094530","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/2512af81-4aa8-42d4-979c-25001166774a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728045984"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_a6e92fab_thumbnail_4096_ede24f22-89ff-4c5e-83cb-548ccc70a0d0.jpg?v=1727312824","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/luke-elliot.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
