After wearing multiple hats as a member of the band Lotus, Luke The Knife is embracing a change in direction, upping his game when it comes to solo work. His album Disco Nap puts his talents on a diverse and extensive pedestal. Sharing a riveting electronic experience including genres nu-disco, classic house, and more, much of it work here triggers more than just a toe-tap or head-bob when it comes to it’s club-friendly nature.
Disco Nap is cheery and energetic, singles like “Beware” and “Bounce It,” being just a couple personal highlights. “Beware” boasts a certain oldies aspect, energy that’s mirrors something straight out of a Stevie Wonder song, yet embodies plenty of modern vibes with it. The balance within is tasteful and euphoric. “Bounce It,” goes a darker, deeper route, and embraces a more classic house characteristic, much more focused on the details of the sound it self, this near-all instrumental experience fits right in to the Disco Nap fold.
Luke The Knife holds nothing back when it comes to how he wants to express himself. He made this moniker, in part, as a way to channel his love for DJing and electronic music. His vision is platformed on disco, rock, with a bit of groove thrown in there for good measure. The solo artist has well over a decade under his belt, able to bring his rich life experiences to the studio and output something that is refined and all it’s own. Luke The Knife hit the spot with Disco Nap, expect more gems coming from his direction in no time flat.
