theUtmost Figured it was high time to add this gem. While I don't necessarily have a favourite track, the only reason it's taken me so long to buy it can be heard in the closing lyrics... "I didn't get around to it... I'll add it to the list..." :P Favorite track: Brain Jail.

isunray 5 out of 5 stars, this album was without question my most played in 2021. Brilliant songs, wigged out guitar solos, beautiful harmonies and excellent arrangements. This album is the love child of 80's pop and Steely Dan. Essential!!

about

Luke Buda (he/him) is a songwriter based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington). Buda’s music finds influence in the warm strums that emanated from Laurel Canyon in the 1960s, the dreamy vocals of supreme 1970s soft rock and disco, and the digital delays and drum machines wafting out from the UK in the early 1980s. In this work, he locates the sweet spot between introspection and wry humour.

In October Buda will release his third solo album (his first in twelve years), a collection of songs mostly recorded in his garage over the last three years. The lyrics are a mix of Buda's sincere but sardonic musings about feeling old and tired and anxious about everything, and words supplied by New Zealand novelist Damien Wilkins, all set to the kind of melodies that you could find while channel surfing through radio stations on a long midnight drive.

Buda has roped in a large range of collaborators for the album, including guests like Don McGlashan; Joe Lindsay and Toby Laing from Fat Freddys Drop; Riki Gooch; Dayle Jellyman; Jacqui Nyman; and all the members of The Phoenix Foundation. Special mention needs to be made of Anita Clark's (Motte) contribution, as she sang on every single track.
