Rolling on a scooter in cowboy boots: On the new album "Blue Star Soft Eyes" (18 October 2024, Red Brick Records) Luce arrives with a gentle but observant expression. The road seems wobbly - a challenge or a playground for youthful courage?

In spring 2023, the solo project of Lucerne musician Tiziana Greco (voc, git, synth) expanded into a four-piece band with Aline Stadler (drums), Mirko Geiger (bass, voc) and Beda Mächler (egit, voc). For the upcoming album, eight new songs were recorded by Timo Keller at Studio vom Dach (Kush K, Mnevis, Hanreti). After deep listening and exploring slowness on the debut album «am I slow
enough?» (2022, Red Brick Records) and five years into the project, the new record marks a change.

Acoustic simplicity paired with whimsical curiosity characterize the new formation. Together, the four musicians extend and deepen Luce's playful poetry with nimble melodies, surprising song structures and polyphonic singing. Hinting at Folk and Americana, refined by synthesizer sounds.

The lyrics tell of by-gone realities and illustrate observations from everyday life, responding to them with ease and care. The music addresses topics such as change and finiteness - every farewell foreshadowing a reunion.

Playing live, Luce has supported acts such as Cassandra Jenkins and Fai Baba and performed on the stages of B-Sides Festival Lucerne, Rote Fabrik Zurich and Prémices Festival Lausanne, among others.

Das Album "Blue Star Soft Eyes" konnte dank der Unterstützung der selektiven Förderung des Kanton Luzerns, der TaKu, dem FUKA Fonds und der RKK realisiert werden.
