Artist Description
"Like Randy Newman and Neil Finn, Luke Doucet is a songwriter’s songwriter."
– Now Magazine
Only subterranean routes will get you to certain places. Luke Doucet’s most recent album Broken (and other rogue states) is the hand-held camera of country music. In Broken we hear none of the predictable twists and turns, nor are we sedated with needless repetition. Instead we experience the visceral unfolding of melody and backlit refrains, every song channeling the most electric moments of a day. Broken (and other rogue states) is the dawn of country verité. With three Veal albums under his belt (Hot Loser, 1996; Tilt O'Whirl, 1999; Embattled Hearts, 2003), a smash solo debut (Aloha, Manitoba, 2001), a live album (Outlaws, 2004), and an armful of notable producer credits including two albums each by NQ Arbuckle and Melissa McLelland, Luke Doucet indelibly brings his sensibilities to all projects as a visionary and the pioneer of a new movement in music. Spearheading a modern genre, country verité is Luke's rogue angel. Falling from tradition he walks in time, on earth, from the heart in technicolour.
