It's by the 7 00:00:51,253 --> 00:00:55,333 Speaker 4: lumine Ears. They've just released their latest album. It's their 8 00:00:55,333 --> 00:00:59,733 Speaker 4: fifth album. The album's called Automatic and the Stelle. Clifford 9 00:00:59,773 --> 00:01:01,893 Speaker 4: Our Music Review has been listening more than. 10 00:01:01,853 --> 00:01:05,853 Speaker 5: Na Nothing like a heart reaching ballad for Valentine. Yes, 11 00:01:09,253 --> 00:01:12,213 Speaker 5: he has a stellar voice and it's really showcased in 12 00:01:12,293 --> 00:01:15,853 Speaker 5: this album. So something about the luminis after that massive 13 00:01:15,893 --> 00:01:22,933 Speaker 5: song ho hey, that's like just been everywhere and it's 14 00:01:22,933 --> 00:01:26,133 Speaker 5: got that big strum banjoey kind of sound. And it 15 00:01:26,173 --> 00:01:27,933 Speaker 5: was at a time when all of there were kind 16 00:01:27,933 --> 00:01:30,773 Speaker 5: of those folky bands coming to the Forefronte, the Lumineers 17 00:01:31,013 --> 00:01:37,333 Speaker 5: of Monsters and Men, what's the other guys on? Yeah, 18 00:01:37,453 --> 00:01:39,293 Speaker 5: it was all the rage and I and I think 19 00:01:39,333 --> 00:01:41,453 Speaker 5: that's great and I love that kind of folky sound. 20 00:01:43,093 --> 00:01:46,613 Speaker 5: This album steps slightly to the side of that and 21 00:01:46,733 --> 00:01:50,253 Speaker 5: I like it because I think it's an evolution of 22 00:01:50,253 --> 00:01:52,493 Speaker 5: what they are as musicians, and it's pushed them right, 23 00:01:53,093 --> 00:01:55,293 Speaker 5: and I think what the sound, what the sound is 24 00:01:55,333 --> 00:01:57,733 Speaker 5: here is that their producer has kind of decided to 25 00:01:57,733 --> 00:02:01,013 Speaker 5: do something different. So he watched that doco Penajexon's Dooco 26 00:02:01,133 --> 00:02:05,213 Speaker 5: of the Beatles, The Long One. Yeah, yeah, the Long One, 27 00:02:05,213 --> 00:02:07,973 Speaker 5: which actually you're weird because you're watching them, going like 28 00:02:08,133 --> 00:02:11,813 Speaker 5: what am I watching the real people? I kind of 29 00:02:11,813 --> 00:02:13,733 Speaker 5: almost expect to see actors and you're like, oh no, wait, 30 00:02:13,813 --> 00:02:16,453 Speaker 5: this is real studio vibes. And so he was really yeah, 31 00:02:16,453 --> 00:02:18,853 Speaker 5: he was really taken with that and that whole like 32 00:02:18,933 --> 00:02:21,653 Speaker 5: just set up a room to be the studio and 33 00:02:21,733 --> 00:02:25,333 Speaker 5: just record it like that, so go almost live, I suppose. 34 00:02:26,213 --> 00:02:28,253 Speaker 5: And I think that took these guys somewhere else because 35 00:02:28,293 --> 00:02:32,253 Speaker 5: they've always had really big vocals, but they've obviously they've 36 00:02:32,293 --> 00:02:34,253 Speaker 5: layered them. They've been able to do tracks, right, So 37 00:02:34,293 --> 00:02:36,053 Speaker 5: you record a track, you record a track, you record 38 00:02:36,053 --> 00:02:37,333 Speaker 5: a track, and you layer it all in. But this 39 00:02:37,453 --> 00:02:40,533 Speaker 5: time it's kind of got that more raw, just as 40 00:02:40,533 --> 00:02:45,093 Speaker 5: it is one guy singing, and I think it leans 41 00:02:45,093 --> 00:02:47,253 Speaker 5: into that folky but also it kind of adds this 42 00:02:47,333 --> 00:02:51,013 Speaker 5: kind of real rawness and emotive type of way of 43 00:02:51,333 --> 00:02:54,253 Speaker 5: capturing a song, Like a couple of the songs on 44 00:02:54,293 --> 00:02:57,093 Speaker 5: this album, I think that the very last song and 45 00:02:57,133 --> 00:03:00,173 Speaker 5: maybe the one there You're Got is like they did 46 00:03:00,253 --> 00:03:02,493 Speaker 5: kind of two takes and they were like, yeah, I 47 00:03:02,493 --> 00:03:05,813 Speaker 5: think that's it, Like leave that edgy kind of sound 48 00:03:05,853 --> 00:03:07,653 Speaker 5: about it, and you've sort of had to run around 49 00:03:07,653 --> 00:03:10,813 Speaker 5: a studio to capture all the sounds, and Yeah, I 50 00:03:10,893 --> 00:03:13,333 Speaker 5: really like it. Wesley Schultz, he does have that voice, 51 00:03:13,333 --> 00:03:15,093 Speaker 5: and he said he's kind of done it on purpose 52 00:03:15,093 --> 00:03:17,813 Speaker 5: in this album where he's almost at that breaking point 53 00:03:17,853 --> 00:03:21,453 Speaker 5: of where his register can go. So it sounds quite 54 00:03:21,533 --> 00:03:23,813 Speaker 5: vulnerable and you're almost expecting him to crack, you know 55 00:03:23,853 --> 00:03:26,533 Speaker 5: what I mean, like, which I think again sort of 56 00:03:26,693 --> 00:03:29,173 Speaker 5: gives you that real emotive sort of sound to a 57 00:03:29,253 --> 00:03:31,893 Speaker 5: voice when it's kind of tension where you're like, I 58 00:03:31,893 --> 00:03:33,973 Speaker 5: don't know if his voice can go much higher or 59 00:03:34,013 --> 00:03:37,773 Speaker 5: further than that, Yeah, which I like. There's something about 60 00:03:37,813 --> 00:03:40,613 Speaker 5: it that I feel he's really committed to what he's 61 00:03:40,693 --> 00:03:43,333 Speaker 5: saying and what he's singing. There's still that kind of 62 00:03:43,413 --> 00:03:45,213 Speaker 5: witch that I think the Luminias have had, Like it's 63 00:03:45,213 --> 00:03:48,573 Speaker 5: that dry, sort of dark probably humor that we relate 64 00:03:48,613 --> 00:03:52,253 Speaker 5: to as kiwis it amongst the lyrics, so still really 65 00:03:52,373 --> 00:03:55,733 Speaker 5: storytelling kind of songs, but again a bit more heart 66 00:03:55,813 --> 00:04:00,253 Speaker 5: on sleeve, not overproduced. One of the big gems that 67 00:04:00,293 --> 00:04:02,053 Speaker 5: will be quite huge of this album I think is 68 00:04:02,093 --> 00:04:02,933 Speaker 5: called slow Burn. 69 00:04:03,533 --> 00:04:03,813 Speaker 2: Right. 70 00:04:04,093 --> 00:04:07,973 Speaker 5: Interestingly enough, it's not a slow song just the title. 71 00:04:08,253 --> 00:04:13,053 Speaker 5: It's actually that real upbeat, fast paced the lumineus ho 72 00:04:13,213 --> 00:04:16,933 Speaker 5: he almost kind of sound that you think, and it's 73 00:04:17,093 --> 00:04:21,493 Speaker 5: really led by the drums that they've done. First, I've 74 00:04:21,493 --> 00:04:23,613 Speaker 5: watched a couple of videos of them creating the song 75 00:04:23,693 --> 00:04:26,533 Speaker 5: and sort of they were really heavy on this this 76 00:04:26,613 --> 00:04:29,413 Speaker 5: tempo and this beat. But actually then the beautiful piano 77 00:04:29,453 --> 00:04:31,173 Speaker 5: plane comes in and I think that's the thing that 78 00:04:31,213 --> 00:04:34,733 Speaker 5: brings it all together again, with him having this amazing 79 00:04:34,813 --> 00:04:37,653 Speaker 5: voice that kind of goes over the top. Lots of 80 00:04:37,813 --> 00:04:40,773 Speaker 5: lots of super catchy tunes, but then some real simple 81 00:04:41,453 --> 00:04:44,333 Speaker 5: paired back so kind of like some real simple ballads, 82 00:04:44,333 --> 00:04:46,093 Speaker 5: but then they can go full anthem at the same 83 00:04:46,093 --> 00:04:50,973 Speaker 5: time with more of a really emotionally charged, intimate sort 84 00:04:50,973 --> 00:04:52,893 Speaker 5: of sound to them. I think that they both really 85 00:04:53,413 --> 00:04:56,213 Speaker 5: flourished in this kind of new way of recording and environments. 86 00:04:57,373 --> 00:04:59,653 Speaker 5: So there you go. Everyone's just constantly inspired by the Beatles. 87 00:04:59,733 --> 00:05:02,613 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I leave you to compare 88 00:05:02,613 --> 00:05:04,093 Speaker 4: the luminaeas with the Beatles. 89 00:05:04,573 --> 00:05:07,493 Speaker 5: Mak in comparison just the record just I mean, we're 90 00:05:07,533 --> 00:05:09,093 Speaker 5: not ever going to be able to get John Lennon 91 00:05:09,093 --> 00:05:11,013 Speaker 5: pul McCartney in a room together again. But you know, 92 00:05:11,133 --> 00:05:12,573 Speaker 5: like there's a lot to be said though. 93 00:05:12,573 --> 00:05:14,253 Speaker 4: I mean, career has always talk about there's like being 94 00:05:14,293 --> 00:05:17,253 Speaker 4: in it exposed to new ways of doing things and 95 00:05:17,333 --> 00:05:19,813 Speaker 4: being in new spaces. There's something it does to the 96 00:05:19,813 --> 00:05:21,293 Speaker 4: synapses or whatever, right. 97 00:05:21,293 --> 00:05:23,413 Speaker 5: That's right, and just shaking it up that much to 98 00:05:23,453 --> 00:05:27,053 Speaker 5: also trust that you're great musicians, that you'll capture something 99 00:05:27,093 --> 00:05:29,493 Speaker 5: that maybe is a little more on the edge than 100 00:05:29,533 --> 00:05:30,813 Speaker 5: what you were thinking you were going to do with 101 00:05:30,853 --> 00:05:34,493 Speaker 5: something just break away from what has become your norm 102 00:05:34,573 --> 00:05:38,813 Speaker 5: I suppose. Yeah, And I like that the folks storytelling 103 00:05:38,853 --> 00:05:42,013 Speaker 5: still exists in here. But there's just something like this 104 00:05:42,053 --> 00:05:44,333 Speaker 5: album's really stuck to me, and I'm really pleased about that. 105 00:05:44,893 --> 00:05:46,493 Speaker 5: I wasn't quite sure where I was going to go 106 00:05:46,493 --> 00:05:47,053 Speaker 5: with this album. 107 00:05:47,093 --> 00:05:50,773 Speaker 4: But yeah, so do you would you still do you 108 00:05:50,773 --> 00:05:53,133 Speaker 4: still call it like indy indie folk? 109 00:05:53,213 --> 00:05:54,893 Speaker 5: I think you can still do indie folk. There's probably 110 00:05:54,893 --> 00:05:57,133 Speaker 5: a bit more of a rock sound to it, but 111 00:05:57,213 --> 00:05:59,013 Speaker 5: I think they still will probably sit in that genre. 112 00:05:59,093 --> 00:06:02,133 Speaker 5: It's so hard, isn't it to captureate people because they 113 00:06:02,173 --> 00:06:04,093 Speaker 5: have probably been in that indie folk thing for a 114 00:06:04,093 --> 00:06:06,373 Speaker 5: long time. This probably branches them out to the little 115 00:06:06,573 --> 00:06:09,013 Speaker 5: bit and I think that's okay too. Yeah, right, without 116 00:06:09,093 --> 00:06:11,133 Speaker 5: completely going like oh now we've become a baby. 117 00:06:11,133 --> 00:06:13,133 Speaker 4: It's not out of the bath order. Yeah, they're not 118 00:06:13,253 --> 00:06:15,333 Speaker 4: stadium rock necessarily just yet. 119 00:06:15,413 --> 00:06:15,653 Speaker 1: Yeah. 120 00:06:15,813 --> 00:06:17,973 Speaker 5: And there's some sort of Coldplay influence in the air, 121 00:06:18,053 --> 00:06:20,013 Speaker 5: you know, those kind of big anthems that come about, 122 00:06:20,173 --> 00:06:22,373 Speaker 5: and this leading voice that sort of sits over the 123 00:06:22,373 --> 00:06:23,093 Speaker 5: top of everything. 124 00:06:23,173 --> 00:06:23,613 Speaker 1: Yeah. 125 00:06:23,853 --> 00:06:25,413 Speaker 5: So maybe a little bit more of a pop fusion 126 00:06:25,413 --> 00:06:27,573 Speaker 5: as well. Yeah, but yeah, yeah, Okay, it's a really 127 00:06:27,653 --> 00:06:29,973 Speaker 5: enjoyable listen. I recommend it great. 128 00:06:30,013 --> 00:06:31,653 Speaker 4: Okay, that sounds really good. So what did you give it? 129 00:06:31,693 --> 00:06:34,853 Speaker 4: Automatic by the luminairsh I'm. 130 00:06:34,693 --> 00:06:36,653 Speaker 5: Going to give it an out of ten. It feels 131 00:06:36,653 --> 00:06:41,133 Speaker 5: familiar very quickly. A lot going on with that. 132 00:06:41,253 --> 00:06:43,453 Speaker 4: I feel like I've scared you out of doing ten 133 00:06:43,493 --> 00:06:47,933 Speaker 4: to eighteen out of tens, which I never wanted to do. 134 00:06:48,333 --> 00:06:50,573 Speaker 5: Maybe people have to work harder to impress it exactly. 135 00:06:50,613 --> 00:06:52,733 Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, maybe that's it. Maybe that's it. All right, 136 00:06:53,253 --> 00:06:55,253 Speaker 4: it's a good album, Yeah, very good. I'm looking forward 137 00:06:55,253 --> 00:06:57,653 Speaker 4: to having a listen. Okay, Automatic by the Luminias is 138 00:06:57,653 --> 00:06:59,693 Speaker 4: the album eight out of ten is stale Clifford Our 139 00:06:59,773 --> 00:07:01,613 Speaker 4: Music review.
