EP, Provisions, was released last summer, and earned him many new admirers, including legendary producer John Agnello (War On Drugs, Kurt Vile, Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth) who signed on to produce Elliot’s debut full-length. That album, which is currently under construction, is expected to be released sometime this fall. Luke Elliot’s music has been steadily gaining more and more attention since his debut EP, “Death of a Widow,” was released by Yerbird Records in 2010. The EP gained him a dedicated fan base that followed him through a circuit of venues across the Northeast. The music, comprised of an eclectic mix of genres and ideas, gained him critical acclaim as an artist to pay attention to. Beginning in New York’s Lower East Side, Elliot and his band quickly made their way from the dive bar scene to some of New York’s more popular venues, from the Mercury Lounge to Webster Hall. Gaining a reputation as an ever-evolving live act, they began gaining popularity in Philadelphia, headlining venues such as the North Star, and the World Cafe Live.
An outstanding follow-up to a superb debut, ‘Provisions’ offers further proof that Luke Elliot is destined to be a force to be reckoned with, and soon. Elliot possesses obvious ability when it comes to varying tone and temperament, as he proves so adeptly… Incidentally, the aforementioned “To Feel Your Love” is not the Dylan song of the same name, even though Elliot shows he can emulate the Master’s art of imagery ever so succinctly… Elliot’s melodies are often probing and austere, but they never remain at arms length… an astute blend of suggestion and seduction.
