First off, I have to admit that I'm listening to this song through some pretty weak speakers. I'm not on my usual computer. With that said, this track still manages to boost plenty of energy out of this sorry excuse of a laptop. Luke Rathborne is preparing for the release of his latest album, and "Last Forgiven" is our first taste of the awesomeness that we can expect to hear. This is a quirky, upbeat jam that will definitely stick with you for the rest of the day. Think late '70s new wave, and that is exactly the fun, edgy [...]
Tweet [Photos by acidjack] Luke Rathborne is young, has an LP and two EPs under his belt, and he's just getting started. Rathborne's 2011 record, After Dark, was recorded when he was a young man of 17; he came here at 18. We found him at Glasslands less than two years later celebrating the release of a new album, SOFT, that refines the sound of those rawer earlier experiments. Styling the performing band simply Rathborne , the [...]
Luke Rathborne is not a gentleman I know a whole lot about at this point, but I do know that I enjoy the sounds he's currently creating. His introduction to me, "Last Forgiven", is streaming below and serves as a great pop hello to anyone unfamiliar with the artist. He certainly has a knack for writing some interesting guitar driven pop tunes. Rathborne has a new album called Soft due out July 2nd and is available for pre-order now .

"Last Forgiven" is a new favorite. The track comes from NYC based artist Luke Rathborne in anticipation of his forthcoming LP, SOFT , which is set for release July 3rd. The album was produced by Emery Dobyns and Albert Hammond Jr. While you can definitely hear Hammond Jr's arrangement experience on some vertical qualities in "Last Forgiven", more than that, "Last Forgiven" has a timbre that ushers in the sound of summer and all the menacing fun in life that's yet to come. Rathborne performs May 14th in New York City at Glasslands, be there. [...]
So, this new Washed Out video kind of had the same feeling that Bon Iver's "Holocene" (check it out here) had on me - the feeling of wanting to travel wherever the video was filmed. The video was directed by Yoonha Park and it features singer-songwriter Luke Rathborne as a nomadic type making his way [...]
Today's song is "You Let Me In" by Luke Rathborne. This is off his EP I Can Be One EP. This album was penned following Rathborne's move to New York City after high school and completed with members of Antony and the Johnsons contributing to the arrangements. Big Star and Lou Reed’s Berlin enter the realm of influences on this EP. For more information on Luke Rathborne check out his official website , MySpace , Facebook , and Twitter pages.

Looking for the perfect track to add to your semi-sweet, end-of-summer mix tape? Look no further, Luke Rathborne offers just that. The more people who hear this, the more mixes it will unmistakably land on. With a split-EP released thus far in his career, Dog Years and I Can Be One , Rathborne tests his skills at a few styles. In general, Dog Years is the more upbeat sing-a-long. And with catchy lyrics like, “Hang on my wayward baby” and a few “ sha-la-la-lalalaaaas” you’re sure to be singing the words soon. “Tie [...]
