Here are Luxury Stranger performing at Bats in the Attic on Friday 12th August…..
As well as gaining critical acclaim, Luxury Stranger music has featured in television and film, and is a melodic wall of sound that gives a majestically slick and regimented cushion for Simon’s vocals, “easily one of the finest vocalists in the UK right now.” (Reflections of Darkness magazine). With comparisons to the likes of David Bowie, Pearl Jam, Scott Walker, Depeche Mode, The Police, Editors and U2 – a Post-Pandemic Luxury Stranger is now working on a new album, Above and Below and there are plans to tour this album.
“One of the UK’s stand out dark alternative acts” (Sphere Magazine)
“…we have nothing against Editors, why should we, but these three Brits actually are at least as good as them.” (Luminous Dash magazine)
“Though the scene has had a feast or famine existence recently, the city[Nottingham]’s hard working Luxury Stranger has done more than most to keep the flag flying” (Neil Anderson, Vive Le Rock magazine, issue 46 July 2017)
“It’s about emotive immediacy, twice-underlined by the vocals, which apparently come not from a teaching book but straight from the bones…” (Reflections of Darkness magazine)
“…with all sorts of influences, from Joy Division to Pearl Jam, but with clever songs.” (Luminous Dash magazine)
“…certainly a thing of beauty… a band that’s hard to pigeon hole, and you know that their influences are as extensive as they are eclectic, and a whole range of influences can be heard throughout their music from the chameleonic Bowie to the anthemic Echo and the Bunnymen, and everything that’s cool inbetween – and they do this whilst retaining their own individuality and style. Quite an achievement.” (Lyric Lounge Review magazine)
“Devoid of any pretension and heart breakingly sincere, “Take my hand, I can save you now” sings Simon, meaning every word. It feels like trespassing into a broken man’s psyche.” (live review, Left Lion magazine)
“York’s voice with its raucous timbre reminded more of the one of a rock singer. But it also gave the song a bolshie appearance… proof that York’s voice could shine even brighter on atmospherically calm songs.” (live review, Reflections of Darkness magazine)
