Montreal, March 30, 2009 – As a welcome appetizer
for his first album, due to hit the stores next fall on the BigFatTruck
label (Bran Van 3000, Colin Hunter), Danny Lütz presents Lütz: The EP.
This sweet six-song collection will be available starting April 7th on
all major digital platforms, including iTunes.
The EP offers a catchy trip inside Lütz’s rich musical universe,
which was inspired among others by The Beatles, Beck, Jamiroquai, Hall
and Oates and Matthew Herbert. One of the featured tracks, titled
“Change the World”, is a cheeky homage to North-American pop music,
while the charming “Je m’excuse”, sung in naïve and approximate French,
allows Anglophone Lütz to cry his unintelligible love for his adoptive
Quebec—native of Nova-Scotia and Prince-Edward-Island, the
singer-songwriter has been living and working in Montreal for the past
seven years. “Je m’excuse” was recently the object of a FACTOR New
Talent Demo Award grant, and is currently in rotation in many Quebec
radios, as is “Ain’t Nuthin”, the first track on the EP.
2009 is off to a great start for Danny Lütz, who won, in 2005, the
Voir weekly newspaper’s music-writing competition, resulting in the
track “Cold Bed” to be featured on the Café Méliès Vol. 4 compilation.
Many Maritimers will also remember Danny’s funky keyboard styles from
the times of Dr. Yellow Fever, the band that danced Halifax senseless
from 1997 to 2002. Montreal gear-heads and music buffs have since been
blessed by Lütz’s fascinating one-man performances, during which songs
were constructed on stage from start to finish using the Ableton Live
software, allowing fans to truly experience the depth of the artist’s
technical abilities and multi-instrumental talents.
Lütz: The EP is a product of all those years of artistic
fermentation, and will certainly keep us juiced up through the spring
and summer —while we wait for the album to come out in the fall.
