Sulka
Glasgow-based Sulka (AKA Lukas Clasen) shares Hollow Days the latest single to be taken from recent debut album Take Care released via Lost Map Records.
Available on digital platforms and also released as part of Lost Map’s PostMap Club subscription service in March , Hollow Days follows the DIY ethos of self-producing, engineering and playing all of the instruments on his home-made recordings which Lukas explains: “I love music that comes from non-studio environments, stuff where you can hear the imperfections and limitations.”
Talking about the latest single Lukas Comments: “Possibly my favourite track on the record, I managed to sum up my lonely/reckless post-breakup headspace in the most accurate way, with a couple of fun word plays as well. ‘Drinking in all the expensive bars, hoping if I get lucky I’ll see stars’ is my favourite line.”
Going on to discuss Take Care, Lukas explains “I wrote Take Care during the summer of 2019 during a bit of a transitionary period in my life, I was newly single after a very long stint of relationships, moving flat as well, starting a record label, going out and drinking a lot – quite a busy, chaotic time. This is what a lot of the lyrics are about I think – coming to terms with being single, feeling a bit lonely and reckless. I knew I wanted this album to be a step up for me, so I was very deliberate about the whole process. I mapped the whole thing out before I started to record, decided on the song order, wrote all my lyrics and made to do lists to keep me on track. It feels really nice to be here a year later, having followed through on my plan, and for it to be coming out on such a cool label.”
