I love when an act is able to change their sound as easily as changing clothes. Able to reach into their musical wardrobe, grab a different style on a whim, put in on, and just make it work. When last I delved into the world of Lucifers Beard, this singular solo project was sporting a Royal Blood style full-blooded rocker sound, with a pinch of southern grit for good measure. ‘Loveland’ is another world entirely. This lush new single, the titular centrepiece of the new EP Welcome to Loveland, takes more of a funky, disco inspired approach. It feels like the work of a completely different ensemble – trading the leather jacket and cowboy hat for a glittery, mirrorball blazer and flared trousers. It’s a pitch perfect love letter to Let’s Dance era Bowie, with a few nods to ELO in its string accompaniment, and with a playful eccentricity that reminds me a little of Belwood Award winning art rockers HMLTD. Bright, grand, and indulgent, with an infectious dance rock groove, Lucifers Beard flaunts this new sound with real flair and panache.
