Luca Firth, born in Rome but grown up and living in London.
Earthy, relaxed, comfortable.
Got to be Frank Ocean at Lovebox 2017. Even though it was a headline show it was one of the most intimate performances I’ve ever seen. A standout from this set would be Good Guy - it’s the quietest I’ve ever heard a festival audience.
Talking Heads and Joao Gilberto. I feel like that would be a very happy evening.
Anti-folk, DIY, 2000s Americana.
My answer to this probably changes every day but right now I think I’d just want to sit in on a Nick Drake writing session.
The Hard Rock Stage at the Isle of Wight Festival. It was one of my first gigs so I probably won’t ever forget it.
'The End of History' by Fionn Regan is one of the best folk albums of all time and has some of my favourite songwriting ever. Namely, 'Be Good or Be Gone' and 'Hey Rabbit'. His lyrical work is unparalleled for me, and figuring out some of his picking patterns has been a fun summer task for me.
'JCB' by Nizlopi. This song fuelled my obsession with tractors and diggers when I was small.
'In This Home On Ice' by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah is a song that I’ve kept with me for all my teens.
'Re:stacks' by Bon Iver. This will always be my favourite song (from my favourite album) of all time. This song has some of the greatest lyrics ever written in my opinion, and will always take me somewhere else when I listen to it. This is a great song.
'Sorrow' by Life Without Buildings has been a big source of inspiration lyrically, it’s some great storytelling that feels honest and direct while laid-back, like street poetry.
'Promiscuous' by Nelly Furtado, Timbaland.
Lately, it’s been 'Anything' by Adrianne Lenker.
'Atlas' by Battles.
'All My Friends' by LCD Soundsystem.
'Hey, Maybe One Day You’ll See Me Again' by Viper.
'Sweet Disposition' by The Temper Trap. Cliche but true.
Some more recent acts in my current rotation are Wanderland, Horse Jumper of Love, George Clanton and Ylayali.
'Soon' by Wanderland
'Spaceman' by Horse Jumper of Love.
'Dumb' by George Clanton.
'Capsule' by Ylayali.
