LUCE MAWDSLEY

“Inventive and affecting baroque-jazz-folk from the Merseyside Morricone” - Uncut

“Eight fluid, folk-tinged instrumentals sound quietly lovely while still shaking the emotional foundations” - 4* MOJO

"Notes hang for an extra breath and small moments fade from grayscale to color as electric guitar leads sing and organ chords effervesce like new growth in early spring.” - Foxy Digitalis

“One part classical, one part Americana, and one part folksy (a touch of the Celtic too) there’s still a very modern twist to what we may identify as the familiar: imagine Prokofiev on an acid trip” – Monolith Cocktail

“Wordlessly fashions heady, droney atmospheres that could soundtrack a film where a man walks through a monochrome desert” - The Quietus

“The spindly guitars and knotty progressions of ‘Insect Fire Dance’ and ‘Heathen’ explore an unprissy English prog with soil under its fingernails” - 8/10 UNCUT

"A triumph of imagination – a wide-eyed stare at the skies, in love with sound and possibility." - **** The Skinny

“It’s not a stretch to suggest that no one is making music like Mawdsley. While the Liverpool visionary’s 2020 release, Vulgar Displays of Affection (Maple Death Records), was something likened to splintered bones passing through a meat grinder, Mawdsley’s Luke Two is far removed, solidifying the notions of an artist leaping from one sound world” - Sun 13
