Luke Sanders  (Indie)
The tuneless and bitter rantings of a frustrated idealist. Fuelled by coffee and despair.

Taste Thyself (Indie)

Artist Comments
This one was an exercise in deconstruction! Initially based around a stabbing piano line, I adapted the main chord sequence to two guitars drilling away. After struggling to master the second half of the track, I resorted to '...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead's old trick and cut all of the instruments out, building up the second half of the song from scratch again. It turned out to be a good idea as the base chord sequence resolved itself in ways I wouldn't have hit upon otherwise. The vocals are a little weak - they were initially recorded against the screeching guitars - most of the lines are strained and oversung, and I had to correct a lot of peaking afterwards. The song itself is an odd, romantic twist on Sadism and Masochism - and the line between the two.

There's not much to say. I'm a underpaid receptionist from Coventry, UK who records the odd track in his spare time. I've played different instruments in different bands and recorded a few demos. This is just an outlet for my own material. It's not much, but I hope something on here raises a smile. Also check out my old bandmate Paul James' website under Modern Composers. (If he bothers sorting it out any time soon) He's got a music degree so his music's better recorded and a lot freakier than mine, but I'm sure you're feeling up to it, gentle reader.


I wear most of my influences pretty openly. I'm a big fan of Robert Smith and Jarvis from Pulp, and I listened to a great deal of music from the late 70's and 80's. After listening to too much Wire, I became an obsessive cutter, trying to state everything in as few bars as possible, and recording urgently to try and capture some of the energy of DIY punk music. I learnt pop classicism from David Bowie and The Beatles, and I try to use that grounding as a springboard to anywhere.

Also, I play too many computer games. That occasionally surfaces in some tracks. Hope you have a high tolerance for silly bright synthesizer noises.
