Daylight Music - Natural Causes + Laura J Martin + Lux Harmonium

Laura J Martin

Laura J Martin hails from the suburbs of Liverpool with influences that ricochet between Serge Gainsbourg, Wu Tang Clan, David Bowie and Herbie Mann. Armed with a flute ready for wrangling, mandolin and a loop station, she sings over her loops and beats, songs inspired by subject matter as disparate as Japanese folklore to real life sentiments and characters.

Lux Harmonium

Lux Harmonium is the musical moniker of Devon's Luke Jones. Initially a self-taught musician, he spent his formative years engrossed in antiquated records. Here he learnt the basis of his fingerpicking techniques, the more traditional side of his work. However the involvement of some unusual ideas about songwriting, creates a curious and timeless quality that is difficult to define.

An enduring insomniac, Luke's lyrics mainly take inspiration from the ethereal moments between this world and the other where he tends to spend most of his time.
