Songwriter
singer
Songwriter/singer !an L!lburne crafts reflective songs in the key of Cohen ― acoustic songs for sensitive souls.
His lyrics are poetic and playful with musical influences ranging from Leonard Cohen, Lou Reid and Laurie Anderson to the American minimalism of Steve Reich.
He has on current release four solo albums, Left Hand of Darkness, Mystery of the Rose, !ns!de Out + Back to Front and Ghosts. All are available from the shop page, through Bandcam and most streaming services. Click on the links below for sample tracks.
“L!lburne’s lyrics are evocative and relatable, sometimes heartbreaking or darkly witty. His musical influences are vast, his style morphing with the stories set in fantastic or mundane worlds of iPhones and snoring.”
BERNADETTE NEELING — Perth Now
“L!lburne sounds like a mix of Michael Stipe and Tim Freedman while delivering a round of sharp, heartfelt and poetic lyrics .”
