Imagine early Arctic Monkeys multiplied by the breakneck urgency of Biffy Clyro and the sharp tongued worldview of Paul Weller. It’s a damning portrait of a hungry family in a broken Britain, as Ellis sings a song ‘For the broken hearted, from a broken home, let down on the breadline, and this ain’t the first time’. “That one’s about me delivering food for a food bank to a single mother of two who lost her job, felt let down by the system and just wanted more,” says Ellis. “She was late on the rent, had no money coming in, no food and just felt forgotten about. I just wanted to say, ‘Don’t judge people without knowing them, always treat people with compassion’. Love always wins.” Hailing from Winsford – a forgotten town between Manchester and Liverpool – The Luka State aren’t overly concerned with the loftier heights of the rock’n’roll dream. Their gritty new album, ‘More Than This’, is an unapologetic state of the nation address, and a record born of the only world they know. The bulk of the album was recorded at The Motor Museum in Liverpool (previously used by The 1975 and Bring Me The Horizon) with producers Dan Austin (You Me At Six, Pixies) and the Grammy Award-winning Adrian Bushby (Foo Fighters, Muse). It’s a small space, chosen to reflect the claustrophobia and tension that the songs were written in. The results are the most aggressive, visceral and immediate work of the band to date, fearlessly exploring the darker shadows of modern working-class life. The scorched desert rock of ‘Oxygen Thief’ spits back against an arsehole who sent Ellis’ mental health into a spiral, the wall-of-sound of ‘Losing Streak’ acts as what the singer calls “a warm hug for anyone else battling addiction and trauma”, the rushing angular indie of ‘Two Worlds Apart’ speaks to anyone “feeling a little bit lost” and the arena-ready ‘Matter Of Fact’ is a lovelorn yearning for a company and a little healing. “Does my love decay when I’m not OK?” Ellis asks on the track, the centrepiece of a very human record that runs the gamut of anxieties that come from needing to know what’s next in life and love. At every show, they’re approached by fans who have been touched by their music and are grateful for feeling less alone –regardless of where they’re from in the world. “This album is a rebirth for us,” concludes Ellis. “Like every other band, we want to take over the world, but we want our message to be heard. We’re not just some standard rock’n’roll band. No one out there must feel alone. There’s a way through everything and we can do it together. We can take over the world together.” Artist Luka State, The Genre Rock And Pop Label The Luka Skate Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Bring Us Down Oxygen Thief Losing Streak Two Worlds Apart Stick Around More Than This Matter of Fact Tightrope (Walking on a Wire) Swimming Backwards Metamorphosis Change Movies Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Luka State, The and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Luka State, The Fall In Fall Out Rock And Pop | BMG Rights Management | 1LP Released 29th January 2021 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Luka State, The Fall In Fall Out £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG Rights Management SKU: 4050538650259 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th January 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Joni Mitchell Miles of Aisles Rock And Pop | Warner Music | 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released 29th September 2023 £48.00 - £53.00 Select options Joni Mitchell Miles of Aisles £48.00 - £53.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Warner Music Formats: 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 29th September 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Various Artists Of Factory New York Rock And Pop | Factory Benelux | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 26th May 2014 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Of Factory New York £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Factory Benelux SKU: FBN55 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 26th May 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Tricky Maxinquaye Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 7th January 2022 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Tricky Maxinquaye £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP507 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 7th January 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Meursault Crow Hill Rock And Pop | Common Grounds Records | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 21st June 2019 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Meursault Crow Hill £27.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Common Grounds Records SKU: CGR001LP Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 21st June 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Crosby Stills Nash & Young Deja Vu – 50th Anniversary Edition Rock And Pop | Atlantic | 180g, 1LP Released 16th September 2022 £34.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Crosby Stills Nash & Young Deja Vu – 50th Anniversary Edition £34.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Atlantic SKU: AATL7200 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 16th September 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Candy Bomber Volume 1 Rock And Pop | Bronzerat | 1LP Released 13th January 2017 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Candy Bomber Volume 1 £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Bronzerat SKU: BR50LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th January 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Spirit Of The Beehive Hypnic Jerks Rock And Pop | Tiny Engines | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 11th August 2023 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Spirit Of The Beehive Hypnic Jerks £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Tiny Engines SKU: LPTE179C Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 11th August 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View David Keenan A Beginner’s Guide To Bravery Rock And Pop | Rubyworks | 1LP Released 10th January 2020 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders David Keenan A Beginner’s Guide To Bravery £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rubyworks SKU: RWXLP372 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th January 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Yello Stella Electronica | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 19th February 2020 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Yello Stella £21.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP276 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 19th February 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Telephone Téléphone Rock And Pop | Columbia | 1LP Released 30th July 2023 £10.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Telephone Téléphone £10.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Columbia SKU: nn268295 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 30th July 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket See more in Rock And Pop Start again
