'Grab It!'

Uncompromising, innovative and emotionally charged, Reichelt is on the right side of eccentric. Alternative Pop-Folk  musician-producer-engineer Luke Reichelt has a live performance and recording career spanning over a decade, his working credits and collaborations are impressive, featuring members of bands such as Wolfmother, Operator Please and Jane VS World. The Combovers ex-front man moving on from a band that saw quick success with sales in Japan and winning an LA Music award in 2006, has now solidified his new solo venture with his 3rd release to date.

Unfolding like a children's fairytale that explores the darker side of emotion, the new album Deep Sea Creatures pulls you in and tugs at the heart strings telling a melodramatic tale of relationship struggles. But don’t let this fool you into thinking it will be a quiet affair, the pop/folk songwriter has array of instruments and tones in this self-produced and performed album.

Ranging from hard/punky bass and heavy guitars, to the smooth rich acoustic and natural sounding drums, mixed with deep rich accordion and eccentric lead guitars. Deep Sea Creatures is a montage of songs in which the agony and ecstasy of the thing we call love is captured masterfully yet simply; complex thoughts articulated effortlessly and honestly.

Brisbane entertainment magazine Rave declared it, “brimming with understated musical goodness”

Reichelt performs live with five piece alternative folk rock band (Guy Cooper, Sammy Griffin, Michael Gillingwater and Perry Clegg). Having played countless shows around Brisbane and the Gold Coast along with a national east coast of Australia tour at the start of this year Reichelt’s live show is mesmerizing, captivating audiences with intelligent lyrics and unique alternative folk-pop sounds.

Please enjoy the latest offering from the alternative pop-folk styling’s of Reichelt - Deep Sea Creatures, The Album is now available via iTunes and other online stores and as always from Reichelt live shows.

'Snakes & No Ladders' Street Press Review

Local lad makes good
Luke Reichelt is a Brisbane based musician and producer. After working with bands such as Severed Link and Operator Please he decided it was time to implant his own music in the ears of the world. Inspired by this newfound confidence, he stole an accordion from the streets of Paris by way of a bread stick and swift kick to the head. He brought the accordion home – and with his acoustic guitar and distorted bass – he gave that thing some street cred. Snakes & No Ladders delivers 13 tracks that sway between gentle, upbeat and haunting. Each track is endearing and almost all clock in under the three minute mark – proving you can like still enjoy music with a limited attention span. Guests on the album include members of A Secret Death, Jane VS World and Wolfmother. Snakes & No Ladders is an album brimming with understated musical goodness. Give this good thing a listen, with the volume nice and loud on Grab It and We Used To Be Friends.
