Luke Sital-Singh + Support
Fool’s Spring is a short period of time at the end of winter when the temperature warms temporarily making one believe spring is here only for the winter weather to return again.
The poetry of thinking a dark time is over only for it to return is something that resonates with the theme of the new album.
This album is my most impressionistic and non narrative of all my albums to date. As a songwriter I have moved away from writing songs about very specific things and now enjoy writing whatever comes to mind and letting it flow subconsciously.
Therefore it’s not easy to describe what all the songs are about in a clear way.
With that said Fool’s Spring was written over a few very dark years in my life as my wife and I struggled with infertility, which culminated in a move back to the UK from LA (somewhere we loved very much) and has ended positively with a successful cycle of IVF and our first baby due in the summer.
There are some songs that speak more specifically to the struggles and emotions during that time and in more general the mood of the album is a direct response to that pain. To me this is the ‘happiest’ sounding record I have ever made. There is an upbeat mood that permeates the whole thing, despite the few sadder songs.
I think I chose to go this way because I was in such a dark place I had no interest in writing sad sombre music. I wanted an escape from feeling down and was drawn to more groovy drum beats and bass parts that were the catalyst for a lot of the songs.”
