Luke Steele's debut solo album, Listen To The Water, began in the gathering storm of late 2019. A fourth Empire of the Sun album was on hold, a global pandemic was on the horizon and LA was conspiring to set Luke and his family adrift on a new adventure. The album is a work of pointed words cloaked in a richly swirling atmosphere, capturing the blend of innocence and wisdom, which questions without the need for answers. Pedal steel dances among the acoustic guitars and percussive nuances.
