It's hard to speak about unspeakable things - violence,
abuse, addiction and abandonment; especially when these
things rupture the innocence of childhood.
But one of the merits of Luke Jenner's new solo project is
that he not only speaks of these things but he does so in a
way that wrests them from the dark, small cubicle of
shame, placing them firmly in the light so that we, as
listeners and fellow survivors, can start to maybe walk with
our head high. In this moment of empty pop music séance,
the scope and ends of this project - to try and help people -
feels almost revelatory.
Revelatory is the right word here in that it carries with it, of
course, the sense of religious or spiritual insight. As front
man for the legendary post-punk NYC band, The
Rapture (a band name that already attests to Jenner's
abiding faith and interest in the force of spiritual reckoning),
Jenner has never shied away from his belief in God,
community, family - all as a means of recovering the
fractured x of y. "How Deep is Your Love", "Grace"...
But while those The Rapture records flirted with these
themes, Jenner's album "1" fully embraces them. "1" is
commanding yet generous in its vision. It follows Jenner's
personal history - from the trauma of child abuse in his
family to the happiness he seeks in his own family now and
in the community of survivors that sustain him - within the
context of rock history and the music that sustained him
there as well.
"All Things Must Pass" by George Harrison (also invested
in spiritual belonging) comes to mind, as does Daniel
Johnston, who literally heard voices which he put to
music. Jenner's project too insists on polyvocality, from his
own voice that splits between utter pain and despair to
almost spiraling, nectarean harmonies, to the community of
family, friends and sponsors that Jenner samples and adds
to the record like a church choir.
