Live im Waschsalon, Wien
Last night I played in a laundrette in Vienna. The audience was kind enough to help out with some backing vocals on ‘Garde Ta Foy.’ Enjoy!

Album Review: Luke Leighfield - New Season
24-year old singer-songwriter Luke Leighfield’s latest album, ‘New Season’ proves to a highly compelling record that simply takes you a heavenly musical journey.
Anyone who is familiar with Leighfield’s work will know he is entirely independent; he releases material through his own label, Got Got Need Records and has financed this album through donations by fans.
For new listeners, Luke’s style is a mix of piano-led pop-rock, which is similar to Jack’s Mannequin and Relient K, to the sombre, mellow sounds that the likes of Ben Folds produces. Whilst Leighfield’s previous releases easily fit into these comparisons, ‘New Season’ takes a more dynamic, polished approach with the final result being grander, more concentrated and more mature.
From the opening piano keys of ‘Slow Down,’ you’re anticipating something exceptional, and with it’s aching tone that brilliantly builds to an over-powering conclusion, it thankfully delivers. With crashing drums and choir-like vocals bringing the track home, it’s clear to stay ‘New Season’ starts on the highest of highs.
Really nice review of New Season. Thanks!
