Exclusive: Uncle Luc - Quit Falling Over: The first track taken from Uncle Luc’s forthcoming EP Stay Clean is pretty wonderful. Recorded in Los Angeles’ Lolipop Studios, “Quit Falling Over” effortlessly embodies the sunshine and optimism so often associated with California, with solid songwriting making for, in Uncle Luc’s own words, “a get up and go kick the day in the ass type of deal”. Recorded live to tape, there’s a freshness and slight edge to “Quit Falling Over” which helps to make it a timeless piece of acoustic power-pop.
The tracklist for Stay Clean is as follows:
Stay Clean
As Close As I Can
I Wish I Was a Wonder
Goodnight Everybody
Quit Falling Over
Albums I Enjoyed This Year: Humlebrag by Uncle Luc
In September 2013, after nearly ten years together, the excellent indie-pop-rockers Stagecoach decided to call it quits, with minimal fuss and little in the way of explanation. Almost exactly a year on from that announcement former Stagecoach frontman Luke Barham released Humblebrag, his first record as Uncle Luc, and provided fans with an epitaph of sorts. Alternately bitter and witty, mournful and celebratory, the shadow of Stagecoach's split hangs over all; explicitly on the stunning "Still A Country Song" ('This is where it ends/No breakthrough hit descends/It's run its course/how we loved that ten year horse we gambled on') and in the industry frustration evident on "Leader Boards" and "I Write". Humblebrag is far more than just some guy whining about his old band though and Barham has a knack for crafting great melodies, no more so than on the exquisite "Farewell Monsoon" and the Figure 8-esque "Rainbow".
This is such solid Rap. Big Sean once said "I think Chip tha Ripper('s) flow is unmatched." I agree with that statement.
Song Of The Day "I Write", the debut single from ex-Stagecoach front man Uncle Luc, aka Luke Barham, focuses on how labels are buying YouTube hits to get more radio play. This hasn't stopped Luke from getting his music played on XFM or as one of our Songs Of The Day though. Look out for his debut record towards the end of the summer and check out this short film he's made too!
What happens when you're not looking at your twitter account for a while, is that you'll miss awesome stuff like this song. It's Uncle Luc's first single "I Write". Before you know it, you'll find yourself nodding your head in the rhythm of the song and humming along the melody. It's catchy. I guess, it's a song about being a musician.
If this voice sounds familiar to you, it's because he was also the singer of Stagecoach. Uncle Luc is Luke Barhams newest distraction...sweet for us, I must say. And shame on me if I would have missed it! Just in time I rediscovered twitter to find out he'll play the Boilerroom in Guildford, England, on the 28th of May and in Nottingham on the 5th of June. And, uhm, this Sunday in Los Angeles during Brit Week? Well, you might meet me in Guildford, not L.A. but that's way cool, isn't it?
Have a good week,
Dörte
