Kuplowsky,luka - Stardust - Vinyl Record

Limited white colored vinyl LP pressing. With his wonderful new album Stardust, Luka Kuplowsky makes a refreshing argument for the relevance of acoustic music as a place to hold thought; an open space to place impeccably chosen words, ideas, and images. A young songwriter with a calm, conversational delivery and an effortless, un-showy grasp of poetry; Kuplowsky humbly picks up the same threads of inquiry that did Cohen, asking the big questions about love, meaning, and consciousness. Musically, Stardust triangulates between Hejira and Late for the Sky, finding connections between the purity of simple melody and the tangled modulations of jazz. Kuplowsky makes a music of contemplation, a music alive to the everyday possibilities of epiphany and revelation, an unhurried music that moves with the gentle and curving rhythms of thought. Stardust features members of Broken Social Scene, Bahamas, U.S. Girls, Andy Shauf, Sam Amidon, The Weather Station, Julia Jacklin, Martha Wainwright, The Ex, Sandro Perri, and Bernice.
