These two lovely, dark, deep, delicious, and lonely-sounding tunes, both reminiscent of Pink Floyd, are from the recent album, Two Halves, by UK via Berlin songwriter, Lukas Creswell-Rost. Creswell-Rost created and recorded these tunes in 2007 and 2008 while “stuck in his tiny attic bedroom somewhere in Northern England, with nothing else to do but to write and record the pop songs he always wanted to hear.”
In the intervening years, Creswell-Rost founded The Pattern Theory and got busy with that band’s projects which included an album on Valeot Records (Cargo/Darla) in 2011, which led to world-wide radio play, press coverage and years of touring throughout the UK and Europe.
Creswell-Rost recently moved to Berlin and has taken his previously recorded solo project to the stage and to the internet. He claims that “the warm reception from audiences throughout the city has led to a new openness in his song-writing,” and that “a release of brand new material is already being recorded… and it certainly won’t take five years again to get it heard.”
We can only hope.
