TVD and the Idelic Hour, our own Friday podcast, are thrilled to be hosting the record release party for our friend, the multi-talented Luther Russell tomorrow night (8/27) at the Three of Clubs.
Luther Russell’s The Invisible Audience is a wildly ambitious record which he calls “a glimpse into the jukebox of my psyche.” The twenty-five tracks on this epic record were culled from months and months of recording “whenever I could get into my eight-track studio or on a four-track cassette to get an idea down.”
The album’s narrative flow seems to run the gamut of emotions from regret, betrayal and loss to humor, nostalgia and hope.
As to the inevitable head-scratching regarding the sheer length of the record, Luther takes it in stride. “I fully get and understand that many people will ask ‘why so long’ and generally not have the patience to sit through such an ‘endless’ listen,” he laughs, “but I just had to do it. It just felt right and I thought it would be a true musical experience–that is if you even like what I do in the first place!”
Join the Idelic Hour’s Jon Sidel and the team at TVD LA this Saturday night in celebration of Luther’s opus.
