Download "I Can Be One" from lukerathborne.com |
I read that Luke Rathborne's debut album, After Dark, was released sometime in 2007, but I couldn't find anything about the product, under music, on his website. I guess what's important to him right now is the double EP release of Dog Years and I Can Be One, which was released on March 8th via Dilettantes Records.
If there were conscious differences between the two EPs, I would say that it seems to me that I Can Be One tend to have more pianos and violins, over the "plugged" Dog Years (with the exception of the acoustic "Tie Your Hands Down"). But to be honest, you couldn't own one without the other, these two EPs were meant to be as a set. The Yin and the Yang, as it were.
Like most singer/songwriter, I feel that Rathborne is telling little stories with his songs, whether noticing a car running in "Motor City" or trying to get that drug "sensation" in "Dog Years". It didn't surprise me to see that he has a poetry book, I can easily see poems from his descriptive lyrics.
Although you can buy the MP3s for about $8 for all the tracks, I suggest you head over to the label and get the double 180g vinyl and L.A. Poetry Book for an extra $7.
