Album: Luke De-Sciscio – Theo / September 27, 2024 / by mynameisblueskye / original

You can watch any videos on Tennex featuring the cutest babies doing something such as waking up or playing with blocks and you will probably only feel a tenth of the way Luke De Sciscio does about his daughter. 

​

Armed with only an acoustic nylon guitar and his vocals reminiscent of folktronic artist Chad VanGaalen croons with a warmth and a nakedness that ensures nothing more is needed to bringing out such songs. “Two-Headed Shadow” covers domestic life with the kid while “Daughter” is an entire love song written and performed passionately to her. 

​

But some songs do cover much darker topics. “7 Layers” tells a story about the difficult pregnancy that almost took out the mother, “Spinning” is a delicate track detailing a difficult night out. The entire album, and “Deeply Religious, 18 and Pretty” tells a story about a girl who suffered a horrid fate while hoping to never have to see or hear the same fate happen with his kid. 

​

You don’t have to be a father to feel the stories told here. It can be as easy to just listen to the songs as they are, but hopefully, it does give you a vision of how being one might be. Blissful, intimidating, anger-inducing, powerful, overall inspiring.
