Big Bells and Dime Songs
Luke Roberts
CD
The debut album by Brooklyn's own Luke Roberts is an intimate and immediate experience. Songs about running, stumbling, falling, crashing, crying, spitting, fighting, sleeping, dancing, healing, bruising, the butterfly, crawling, creeping, building, flying, fording, gargling, just starting out, homecoming, claiming, calling, bridges, tunnels, planets, and the sun and money. Essentially they are just gifts for Luke's loved ones. Luke says it best: "They are poems that I didn't feel comfortable not reciting before I go." Big Bells and Dime Songs was recorded by Kyle Spence (Harvey Milk) in his Ronniejone$ound Studio in Athens, Georgia. This was Luke's first trip to a studio. Kyle also played drums and some bass on the record. They had never met prior to the recording of this record. Luke got his name and number from a fellow cook and Harvey Milk member. (Thrill Jockey got Luke's music from another cook.) CD version comes in a 4 panel mini-LP style gatefold package. LP version includes a full color artwork inner sleeve and free download card.
