Luka Bloom's 2 Meter Sessions on LP!
Share
Good news for all Luka Bloom fans: Live On 2 Meter Sessions is coming soon on LP! This album collects the Irish master's finest moments in Jan Douwe Kroeske's legendary studio.
Before we dive into the songs, a bit of background. Luka Bloom, born Barry Moore, chose his stage name to forge his own musical path, separate from his famous brother Christy Moore. His music is a powerful blend of folk, pop, and pure poetry, characterized by his inventive, percussive guitar playing and narrative lyrics. The 2 Meter Sessions setting is ideal for Bloom, as it forces the listener to focus on the essence of the song.
This new LP is a beautiful cross-section of Bloom's career, full of highlights that perfectly demonstrate why he's a favorite in the Netherlands. The album opens with "Gone To Pablo," an early, beloved track that immediately showcases his storytelling and guitar prowess. Bloom is known for his socially critical and introspective lyrics. "I Am Not At War With Anyone" speaks volumes about personal peace and resistance. The track "No Surprises" (a brilliant Radiohead cover!) is an absolute highlight.
His Irish soul is fully expressed in songs like "Holy Ground," "Exploring the Blue," and "Monsoon." These songs showcase his gift for capturing the complexities of nature, love, and life in pure, moving melodies.
This Live On 2 Meter Sessions LP is not just a nostalgic trip through the archives, but a timeless document of an artist at his purest. The sound quality of the sessions is consistently excellent, allowing the warmth of the guitar and the resonance of Bloom's voice to truly shine on vinyl.
The LP will be released on November 28, 2025, and can be ordered here:
