Search - Lucky Dragons :: Widows

"Under the name Lucky Dragons, Luke Fischbeck creates ecstatic music that completely transcends genres. My attempts to describe what his music actually sounds like always falls short of the magic he is making. I guess you could say it sounds like ecstatic magic. Challenging stereotypes that electronic music is cold and sterile, Fischbeck's live show ... is a truly great celebration of the human spirit, giving real hope for the techno-future our society is racing toward." - ART FORUM "A line between the handmade and the distanced digital ... a successful forging of the personal detritus [and] the mic-ed moments between moments." - ALL MUSIC GUIDE "Lucky Dragons craft some of the most humane, confused, and staggeringly beautiful lap-pap I've ever had the pleasure of hearing." - PORTLAND MERCURY Luke Fischbeck has been making Lucky Dragons music for almost seven years. He is an industrious tinkerer, and very clever with words. He has made so much great music in the past seven years that States Rights Records recently released a retrospective of his work entitled Sewing Circle. Fischbeck's latest album, Widows, was recorded on three separate occasions, then endlessly torn apart and mashed together over the course of a year. One of the things Fischbeck discovered with this album was "a tradition of American culture that I agreed with, even felt inspired by. This is my attempt at making American music - music that describes and remembers and criticizes and embraces and expresses and illustrates and ornaments and digests and shits out what it means to be American." With an impressive array of instrumentalists and Fischbeck's established talent, Widows is truly mythical, mystical, and amazing.
