About
Luke Beesley: vocals, guitar
Helen Svoboda: double bass
Thomas Coleman Bell: saxophone
Cornflake Sunset is the singer-songwriter moniker of acclaimed Australian experimental poet and writer Luke Beesley. Double Portrait is his debut album. Cornflake Sunset songs are a sort of rusty literary folk rock—absurd, intertextual, visual.
Critics have described his writing as ‘hypervivid epiphanies’, ‘language made deliciously strange’ and ‘surreal paths of flight, shaping into strange and self- referential swirls, leaving you disoriented but transformed’.
The same could be said of Cornflake Sunset’s strange songs that have the lyrical precision of the Silver Jews or Leonard Cohen, the wackiness of Stephen Malkmus' Pavement, the minimalist instrumentation of Bill Callahan or Aldous Harding, sung in a voice that sits somewhere between Neil Young, Loudon Wainwright III, Devendra Banhart and Magnolia Electric Co.'s Jason Molina.
