Luke Sital-Singh has announced details of his new album Time Is A Riddle, to be released Friday 12th May 2017 on Raygun Records / Red Essential. The follow-up to his 2014 debut The Fire Inside, Time Is A Riddle was recorded in Attica Audio studio in Donegal with producer Tommy McLaughlin (Villagers). McLaughlin recruited a small group of local musicians, with Luke and the band slotting together effortlessly to record the album in ten days.
“There were big windows looking over the hills of Donegal, and it was raining the whole time, which was perfect for me,” says Luke. “We were playing and singing at the same time in this lovely big live room, just the way records used to be made.”
The first single from Time Is A Riddle is the spine-tingling ‘Killing Me’, which has already racked up over half a million streams on Spotify. A song Luke wrote for his Grandmother, the track is accompanied by an evocative, home-made, typically personal video. Watch below.
Luke said of the video: “It’s cut from digitised cine films that my wife’s late grandfather shot in the Seventies. They were only sent to us recently because her parents were in the process of moving to Vancouver. When I watched them, the nostalgic nature and the parallels with both our grandparents, it just felt tonally right, and a little note of serendipity. So I edited them together and that’s what we’ve got.”
The Bristol-based singer-songwriter has also announced an upcoming UK headline tour in support of the record, dates below.
