Lux Harmonium

Like the unearthing of an Alan Lomax recording or a gem from some back-room of Cecil Sharpe house; Luke Jones' Lux Harmonium is doubtless to be cited next to modern day guitar virtuosos' James Blackshaw, Glenn Jones or the late Jack Rose.

His honest music, characterized above all by Bram’s distinctive voice, claims your heart straight away. Songs are built on melodic backing vocals, guitars and sound layers, as well as the frequent use of unconventional percussion inspired by the Brazilian Tropicália Movement from the 1960s.
