About Me

'Love's the boy stood on the burning deck / trying to recite "The boy stood on / the burning deck". Love's the son / stood stammering elocution / while the poor ship in flames went down. / Love's the obstinate boy, the ship, / even the swimming sailors, who / would like a schoolroom platform, too / or an excuse to stay / on deck. And love's the burning boy.' -- Elizabeth Bishop -- ************************************************************ ****** love's the burning boy began when Lukus started writing songs after moving back home to OKC from San Diego in the summer of 2004. love's the burning boy makes music that is particularly soul-baring, believing that hope can only truly be found in the midst of pain, and that a broken heart holds the most beautiful picture of redemption. ltbb follows an indie ideal musically, with simple structures, purposeful rhythms, subtle movements, and conversational melodies. love's the burning boy finds inspiration and influence from artists such as Pete Yorn, Snow Patrol, The Flaming Lips, Grandaddy, Death Cab for Cutie, Nada Surf, Sigur Ros, The Shins, and Secret Machines. ltbb is currently under construction.
