If there is one thing Luke Elliot is used to, it is flattering comparisons with the greats of folk and rock. Hank Williams, Big Joe Turner, Bob Dylan, Elmore James, PJ Harvey, Nick Cave. His cinematic music is elegant and down-to-earth at the same time, does not shy away from great emotions and captivates with poetic lyrics, haunting epic stories and a voice that conveys an incredibly mature vulnerability. About his second album "The Big Wind", which immediately captures and reminds of the film noir tonality of Tom Waits or Nick Cave, he says: "These songs are about a pull towards a more stable existence. When I wrote the album I didn't have a permanent home. But somehow I left my lottery life behind, met my wife and pulled myself together to make this album. Everyone has to grow up sometime," says Elliot.
