23 year old Luke Rathborne is writing way beyond his years. This guy writes from a perspective that can only come from a natural ability to craft your songwriting with a perfect balance of melody and emotion. It’s an illuminating mix of hauntingly gorgeous soundscapes and thought provoking lyrics wrapped around a a Lo-fi sound teetering on the event horizon of greatness. He has opened for The Strokes, Noah and The Whale, and just released a new EP titled Dog Years. Fans of John Lennon’s solo work, early 60’s Stones, and Greg Dulli style ballads take notice. It’s a rare thing to see someone so talented at such a young age; let’s make sure he doesn’t go unnoticed.
