Luke Buda has spent nearly a decade now making music with the Phoenix Foundation, guesting on his friends solo records and releasing his own solo output – Vesuvius being the second record under his own name. This latest one finds him working with a few familiar cohorts, notably Lee Prebble (engineering and production) and Sam Scott (vox, songwriting on ‘My imminent Demise‘)

As a result, Vesuvius isn’t what you’d call a massive departure from his earlier work. Tunes like the opener, ‘Crystal Ham’ would sit perfectly on a Phoenix Foundation record.

Tracklist:
1 Crystal Ham
2 When Your Broke
3 The Wasp
4 Electric Waterfall
5 Empty Eyes, Generous Thighs…
6 Vesuvius
7 My Imminent Demise
8 The Answer’s Always Yes
