#287: Quiet Luke

Quiet Luke on Building Lore, Wearing All Black, The DRES Supergroup, and more.

Cool people like cool things, which is why we asked Quiet Luke to share a taste of his taste on Perfectly Imperfect.

Quiet Luke (aka Alexander Luke Bahta aka Alec) is a New York City-based musician, ex-model, and conceptual artist. In the years following his debut album 21st Century Blue Alec has been busy DJ-ing gigs like the Perfectly Imperfect NYFW party, working on film scores, and starting a weekly chess club, all while sculpting the exciting next era of Quiet Luke. His epic new single,"43VR", builds from a single hypnotic washed out guitar into futuristic pop gem by introducing Quiet Luke’s impassioned distorted voice and some fat 808s, it’s great. Be sure to check out the beautiful music video he made in collaboration with Kevin James Neal too. Lucky for us, Alec is here to tell us what he’s been into.

Without further ado
