Fool's Spring is the name given to a brief period at the end of winter when temperatures temporarily warm up and spring is believed to have arrived before winter strikes again. This can also be translated into everyday life. You have the feeling that a dark time is over before it comes back with a vengeance. This mood has become the cornerstone of Luke Sital-Singh's new album Fool's Spring (rel. 21.2.25). It was written during some dark years in which Sital-Singh and his wife struggled with infertility. This culminated in a move from LA back to the UK and ended positively with a successful IVF cycle and their first baby due in the summer. The mood of the album is a direct response to that pain. ‘For me, this is the happiest record I've ever made’. A positive mood prevails, despite some of the sadder songs.
Luke Sital-Singh's haunting, intimate quality has quickly drawn comparisons for the indie-folk singer with artists such as Bon Iver and Jeff Buckley.
